Respirator for Resin Printing? (lemmy.world)

I started resin printing and I am wondering if you guys use a full on resperator (if so is their a specific classification you'd recommend?) Or do you just use a cloth / surgical mask?

So far I have been using the mask that came with my printer (Elegoo mars 3 pro) but and not sure if that is sufficient.

I use a 3M 6200 half mask and 60923 cartridges. They’re good for organic vapor, some acids, and P100 (99.7% particulate blockage including oily particulates )I keep it on a hook near the door and use it for painting and epoxy work in closed areas. Cheap and effective, iirc the cartridges only need changing every 100-200 hours of use.
