Is anyone using TPM Solvent (Tripropylene Glycol Methyl Ether) to clean your parts. If so, how do you like as compared to alcohol, and where did you get it?

I would like to try it for a couple reasons

1. safety from a fire point of view
2. from what \_ have read, it last longer and does an equal or better job of cleaning the parts

I’ll add on to this from a Formlabs perspective! As TPM is a relatively new solution for us as well, please don’t hesitate to send feedback about your experiences our way!
