Thank you for the ingenuous inventions/tips.

Thanks SO much for the snake light! New to the SLA side of 3d printing, and was trying to find a solution for curing the inside of hollow models! From what i am reading, this should specifically help with water washable resins. Thanks for the video, very informative!

Great Idea with the hand warmers!! I just ordered my first resin printer and will try this. Thanks. I subscribed!

FWIW: warming resin: if you have a wash&cure station then get some magnetic stirrer bars (search for this on Amazon) and a few beakers. Pour your resin into the beaker, drop a stirrer in it, then put the beaker in a larger container with hot water, and put the whole thing on the wash station (you can also buy dedicated magnetic lab stirrers with heaters for about $20)

Doing it this way heats my resign quickly to a uniform temperature BEFORE it goes into the vat and using a big magnetic stirrrer in the resin bottle instead of shaking it stops you getting entrained air air bubbles in your resin - which improved my print quality markedly

I was thinking the same thing as your fiberoptic UV tool. I have an improvement though:
The ends of the fiberoptic cable act like a laser-ish flashlight beam. If you terminate them in a small clear blob, they act more like a lightbulb, spreading the light all over, instead of just a beam.

Try seeing if you can just melt the ends of your fiberoptic cable
fishing line might also work, but would be less clear
A clear blob of anything might work (resin, glue, etc).

Just get an electric car heater the ones that plug in cigarette light and a 12v power supply .. Cut hole in the side of the cover.
The a vent hole on top some vacuum hose.. Put the vent hose out the window run the heater on low..
