I have my Mars in a heated/air conditioned out-building. I can always smell the resin when I enter the building. I leave resin in the vat in position in the Mars with a non-airtight cover and the Mars cover over that. My IPA rinse tank is kept sealed. One day I cleaned up some spilled resin with a paper towel and left it in an open trash can. My wife nearly kicked me out when she went out there and found the odor unacceptable. Since then, I keep a cover on the trash can. If I had to have the Mars in the house, I would want it in a room where I could close the door and open a window for ventilation. So far, I have only used the Elegoo resins, mostly gray.
