Curing resin prints with the printer itself (lemmy.ml)

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 are looking for a home-brew solution, I'd get a UV bar light and a lazy Susan. Make sure you wear gloves and eye protection when using.

Alternatively there are cure stations on the market. I use the elegoo wash and cure station (Mercury, I think they call it?)
