Hi all,

I’m quite new to resin printing and I was wondering if one was able to post-cure their prints with he printer’s built in “cleaning” function. I mean, it’s a pretty powerful UV light, right there. Does this damage the LCD more than usual? I was thinking of just “roasting” prints to cure them. If anyone tried it before, do share.

    If you can truly afford resin printing and all the waste and resources and safety equipment required, you can afford a wash and cure station. Use the right tool for the job.

      also you risk some droplets of resin, or even the print itself, sticking to the LCD and damaging it. Than you’ll spend money buying another LCD on top of the station.

        That was the first thing I thought of. Not worth the risk to such a sensitive piece of equipment.
