Found some water washable resin on alixpress that works out at £13 for 500gdelivered.
So that's pm it's way, the £16 water washable clear is already here.
Came with gloves and a face mask - which I wasn't expecting.

Still looking for uv light.

Done a lot of reading, and there is a lot of information/misinformation out there.

Curind the part while it's immersed in water seems to be the best option.

Oxygen impairs the curing process, so having the model in water serves two purposes.
1) it greatly reduces oxygen levels, which speeds up curing.
2) you can use warm water. Moderate heat also speeds the curing process up. Plus my workshop is cold this time of year.

Light wise it looks like some of the usb powered led striplights might be the best option. Not only can you just plug them into a usb port, but you can use a power bank for free standing curing.

And as I have no idea where the printer is going to live yet, that's probably a good idea :-)
on the other hand, the uv spotlights are also the right wavelength and - apparently - more important, have more power than is also important.
So I'll start with a uv spotlight and go from there.

Another reason for using washable resin - it makes it a lot easier to clean the vat up and remove any uncured resin.

There's a lot more to switching from fdm to resin that you at first think.

Particularly when it comes to model design.
You can't simply print a hollow shape. well you can, but it must have drainage holes.
Also things seem to generally be printed upside down.

I had thought you could build out sideways at rightangles without worrying about bridging or supports.
But the pressure of peeling the new layer, apparently, can distort them.
So it's a delicate baance between exposure time and peeling speed.

The water washable resins are 'runnier' less viscous, than the alcohol washable resins, so should flex less on the lift movement.

Likewise, the curing time per layer will effect how stiff the printing model is. So hoping the slicer will let you change exposure settings depending on the model configuration.

Unfortunately the 32 bit voxel print download is corrupted. And it's cold in my workshop and I'm currently in the dining room where its a lot warmer :-)

Oh and apparently the voxelab proxima is made by flashforge !
Well that's what it says in the quickstart guide, and I've seen it mentioned a few times online as well.
Apparently it's a flashforge photo 6 - which retails at £60 more :-)

And that means I can use the flashforge slicer - and I do like flashforge slicers. Thinking about it, the voxelab slicer is only going to be a rebaged flashprint anyway.

So it's coming together.

Just need to throw some junk away and find a space for it to live !
