The water soluble resins smell even worse in my option somehow this was counterintuitive for me.

Depends on the brand, but low-viscosity resins tend to print easier, have less bubbles, and drip clean a little better.

The bad liquid-resin odor people detect is often unrelated to VOC levels, which is why activated-charcoal filters are mostly useless from an exposure standpoint. Exhausting crud outside into some ferns is the best solution for hobby printers. =3

Yeah the smell is just insane. I worked a lot with PU resins and they actually smell delicious (prolly same toxicity tho).
