Want to get into 3D printing, need advice on what is needed and safety precautions ?

well you've done your homework - yes resin printers come with certain issues.
I don't think your 'laundry' room is big enough as a resin machine really needs it's own work surface, you really don't want to get that stuff on anything.

However there are alternatoves - a decent fdm 3d printer with a 0.25 or 0.2mm nozzle can produce models almost as good as resin. But using pla there is none of the associated problems.

Have a look at the prusa mini or for less money the monoprice maker select mini v2: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Sel...9175750&sr=8-3

but DO NOT be tempted to get an ender 3.

IMO it's misleading to suggest that a consumer FDM printer can get "almost" as good results for miniatures as a resin printer.

The very best FDM prints are still a ways off quality-wise from resin print and it takes EXPERT level skill to dial in an FDM Printer to even get that far.

As for resin fumes, they aren't as bad as one might imagine, but you still need ventilation of some sort. Some people put them in their bathroom and use a bathroom fan. You can also exhaust it out a window with some simple ducting tube and a computer fan--that's what I do (although I put a hole through my wall instead of using a window).
