Parent may be imagining a carpeted apartment, which would make cleanup more difficult.
When I was in such a location I used silicone project mats with raised edges fastidiously to avoid ever dripping on the carpet.
- iLoveOncall 2y agoYes that's what I was thinking of after leaving my own comment, but it's a lot less common outside of the US. I have wooden floors. Otherwise I would definitely either avoid it entirely or cover the whole floor area one way or another.

When I was briefly considering buying a resin printer, I was horrified by the comments on Reddit from teenagers who were printing D&D figures in their bedrooms, handling spills by rubbing them into the carpet, or assuming "low odour" meant "safe". In these discussions, comments from a chemist who claimed to work for a company producing the resin were downvoted, they didn't want to know. "Well, I'll be careful" generally isn't an adequate safety precaution in industry or academia.
