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.

The LCD panels that typical resin printers use do have an expected lifespan. I wouldn't advise eating into that just for post-curing prints.

I'd think the LCD isn't used at all here, as it's left fully transparent

Doesn't the LCD just black out the pixels that shouldn't be exposed to the UV light?
