There is an intelligent time control function so you can set the exact curing times which you’ll need to adjust depending on the size and complexity of your model. These machines tend to be more expensive than single-function curing machines, but their versatility may be worth the investment for avid resin crafters. 2. Consider the Size and Capacity Comgrow UV Resin Curing Lamp is specially designed to complete the post-curing process in less time as compared to other resin curing lamps. A curing machine with an auto-shutoff feature will automatically turn off once the curing process is complete or after a specified period of time. This helps prevent overheating, which can damage your resin projects or even cause a fire hazard. Additionally, it saves energy and reduces the risk of accidents caused by forgetting to turn off the machine. Protective Casing Large Tray– Line it with paper towels and use it as a workspace to remove the print from the build plate, to try prints after washing, remove supports, and so on. The tray will keep any spills and drips of liquid resin contained, making clean up easier.
Some people like the budget solution of the UV Lamp and Solar Turntable, while others love how easy the 2-in-1 Elegoo Mercury Plus solution is. There’s a lot to consider when curing resin, if you want to cure it properly without it becoming too brittle or warping you need to regulate temperature and light intensity. You also need to balance it across the surface. When I was making base toppers for my miniatures and using my wife’s nail curing station thy started to curl from being left under the direct light.When choosing a resin curing machine, consider the size and capacity to suit your needs. A larger machine can accommodate bigger projects, while a compact machine is ideal for smaller spaces and projects. This complete set protects you from looking into the UV light which is a great safety feature unlike some of the other options in this list. It’s still a good idea to use safety googles just as a precaution, to maximize your safety.
Unscrew the build plate from the printer arm and gently angle it 45° and let any excess uncured resin drip into the vat. Depending on how you follow the steps ahead you may want to use a drill so that the power lead comes out of the bottom of the tin. You can have it coming out of the top if you want to do it the easy way but you won’t be able to close the lid flush. I drilled a hole for the lead becasue the DIY Cring Chamber looked neater as a finished item. To complete the washing and curing process, you’ll need to expose the model to UV light to cure it completely and bring out the sharp details and features. Plastic Containers– We recommend two. Fill them with Isopropyl Alcohol. One for washing models and the other to wash the build plate (much easier than doing it entirely by hand with paper towel). Ensure the second is rectangular and is large enough to dunk the plate. We also recommend air tight containers so that you can seal them and reuse the alcohol for your next print session. You’ll likely get a few washes out of the alcohol before it’s too contaminated with uncured resin to be useful.It has an inline switch so you can turn it on and off with ease, rather than having to plug it in and unplug it each use.
The Elegoo Mercury Plus 2.0 matches the Anycubic in name but is the smaller of Elegoo’s machines with 131 x 90 x 220 mm wash and 140 x 165 mm cure volumes, putting it more in line with the Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0. Those few extra wash millimeters mean you have more space to rinse prints, but the curing size remains identical, so not too much of an advantage. Don’t hesitate to take out a fresh pair of gloves between steps – this helps avoid getting resin on the outside of containers, tool handles, bottles, and so on. Paper Towels– It’s better to have more than not enough, so we recommend having a couple rolls at your disposal for the wash and cure process. Some machines, like the Anycubic Wash & Cure Plus, have added extras like an adjustable L-shape LED array extension to cure the top of prints and a reflective base on the UV curing chamber to encourage consistent resin hardening. Remember to rotate it at regular intervals so that the sun reaches all parts of the model. For smaller prints, especially miniatures, you can also place them in a glass of water. The water will refract the UV light across the full surface of the print, speeding up the curing process. Some resin 3D prints curing in the sun. Source: Imgur
And that’s it. Once you have rinsed off your resin Model in Isopropanol and let it evaporate. just place it on top of the turntable and plug it in. The UV lights will power the turntable to keep it spinning. If you value premium features such as these, the Prusa CW1S might justify the higher price point. Price
