UV Curing Station Cover and Instructions

thingiverse

I'm creating a custom lid for my upcoming Phrozen Make resin printer. Since I only print small pieces, I needed a compact design, so this lid is 180mm in diameter and 180mm tall, fitting perfectly over the UV-powered rotating stand. The "Furo Oke" bath pail by Tomonori served as a starting point, with added features like a hole for the UV light strip plug. I'm currently printing this out and will update it later. Initially, I'm using Vase-mode to save time. However, I'm unsure about its strength. To build this curing station, you'll need: * A UV Light Strip ($15.99) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L7JEAN0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 * A 12v Power Supply ($7.99) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019Q3U72M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 * Decorative Mirror Tiles ($9.99) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AAGGHO6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 * A Solar-Powered Display Stand ($5.99) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Y2AW3C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Total cost: less than $40! Print this model, then line the inside with mirror tiles or aluminum foil and hot glue for a smooth surface. Insert the power lead through the hole in the cover from the inside, start wrapping the light strip along the inside of the lid, leaving a 1/4" space as you spiral it around until you reach the lip. You can use a half-sized strip if needed. Once secured, plug in the light strip and you'll have a UV curing setup for small prints. For larger prints, consider using a 5-gallon bucket or box with similar principles. Timing is unknown, but start with a few minutes for testing. Check out my pics to see how I stopped the print early due to its size. My final model will be much nicer and faster to print.
