Rusty is correct but trace amounts of toxic manufacturing chemicals can remain behind. See my slides below to see Lead contaminated factory Swagelok brass compression fittings. I ran a materials characterization research center. I always wash parts even after factory cleaning with IPA.

Brass rod will work available at local HW store.

I would not worry about it the spray pressure depends on your viscosity and media etc.

Got a Elelgoo Mars Pro resin printer coming today.

Pressure drop is normal to characteristics of inexpensive compressor, not a high flow one assuming it has no storage tank on it? Should still work fine. Good upgrade is a carbon dioxide tank or a shop compressor with tank on it. I have an old Craftsman/Sears compressor which is bulletproof and inexpensive to maintain.
