I hope your goggle were on right!!!
But sound it not, we learn for next time, I had merger accident once I were lucky I didn’t lose my eye thanks God.

Oh yeah, resin prints are hard and brittle, like some kind of weird hybrid of plastic and glass. Or like acrylic, I guess…

I think most hobby and prosumer resins are acrylates, so roughly as brittle as acrylics.
