I'm new to 3D printing and have bought a resin printer.

Cleaning with Isopropol Alcohol seems to be the rage, however I think this is unaware of cost savings. It appears methylated spirits is ok and is 25% the cost of Isopropol Alcohol.

I'm now down to wondering if I should buy methylated spirits or turpentine (I ruled out kerosene, as too flammable)? I'm leaning towards methylated spirits, buthowever would like input.

Factors I'm curious about:

  1. Cost: same for methylated spirits and turpentine.
  2. Evaporation/solvency: ?
  3. Flammability: ?
  4. Poisonous levels: ?
  5. Resin object cleaning effect: ?
  6. Skin effects: ?
  7. Smell: ?

I checked a few sources.
