Resin Curing Chamber

thingiverse

Two models (only one shown) for a resin curing chamber. Both of which have an indentation designed for UV LED strips (the ones I modeled after were the Deep Dream 5M UV LED strip from Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C2NQWIQ ). Given the nature of UV light, I tend to use the model with a spiral indentation on the inside, printed with black/opaque filament. The spiral is the proper length to have the strip start at the bottom, go back and forth twice, and then spiral up the inside to the top with the power cable popping through the divet at the top of the container. I recommend a lid of some kind. This model is perfect for dry-curing UV resin (or lacquer). It's about 126.6mm in diameter internally (131mm diameter externally) and 175mm tall. It will fit on a Prusa/Ender 3/etc -- smallish bed. The other model has the spiral going up the OUTSIDE of the container, intending for you to print in translucent filament, point the UV lights inward, and tape them onto the container. This allows for sealing the interior to fill with water and do water UV curing (much faster). Please take great care when using the 2nd model with translucent material that you cover it with opaque tape on the outside. And WEAR UV PROTECTION. I recommend the Uvex Stealth Clear anti-fog goggles (S3960C), as they block 99.9% of UV light, and also work as plain ol' safety goggles, so you can double up on your resin printer safety goggles.
