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.

Notwithstanding part lifetimes, I don’t think you’ll get even enough – or even enough in general – UV exposure to produce satisfactory results. Also, while you’re doing this you won’t be able to use your printer for anything else.
I think buying or rigging a curing box will be significantly less irritating. And probably cheaper in the long run, too.
