I mean the part inside the photon. Not an external UV light ?

check every couple of minutes till they stop being sticky and rotate them as needed :)

Zena Andreou thank you

In sunlight 20-30mins

Brandon White thank you

Window glass blocks some UV, better in direct sun.

20-30 mins sounds very long. You do not want to over cure because the part gets more brittle.

Dan Andersson it might be but it also depends on uv concentration, 15-20 in, with just sun light my prints are still sticky, its the main reason i switched to a uv light, but im sure in different locations its short times/longer times

If you put your prints in direct sunlight, i have a very hard time to believe that a uv light would be faster. If you have a window between, then it is possible.
A cloudy day is easily beaten with uv light.

Dan Andersson uv light has always been faster for me

Usually uncured resin will take a dent from a fingernail being pressed in. Leave it out in sunlight until it no longer takes a dent

sun 10 to 15 min tops...imho...i have a curing box but use the sun every chance i get...

Cure them in water

Placing them in a container with clean water under the UV light / direct sunlight helps.

hope this works!

Scrub with a soft toothbrush while in IPA. Don't just shake and/or stir.

this

i bought a specially soft tooth brush, just enough pressure so it moves the uncured resin but not harming the surface of the half cured model

You can also just click on the "next error" arrow in Photon file validator, and then click on the "red crosshair" ... then you'll get a zoomed in view of the error where you can use left mouse to add pixels and right mouse to remove pixels.
This way you can manually fix your layers too, and sometimes is faster/easier than going back to slicer to add supports.

Xi-Sheng Luo I cycled the errors that way after using auto fix, some of my islands were so big they needed full supports or were the bottom layer of an article hence the back and forth method, the old "paint it to attach" didn't work.

You will need to cure the resin.

Also removing supports is much easier if you soak the print in hot water for a few seconds.

This will also make cutting supports much easier.

Christopher Barnes so I used similar clippers when the supports were still flexible. What consistency am I looking for in "cured" resin I don't want to over cook it.

Alex Clarke that’s something I’m honestly not great at. I have a tendency to over cook prints by forgetting about them.

But you want to make sure it’s totally dry before curing. And once cured it should no longer be tacky.

Alex Clarke I just made a post in this group a few minutes ago. In it you will see a large bunker wall with probably 100 supports. I dipped that in hot water and was able to pull everything off by hand after a few seconds. It left minimal marking too.

I've never had an issue, try and see I guess?

While printing yes, though especially while on standby covering it with a thick black bag or something will help, since the screen won’t block all uv...

My workshop has several sunny windows...it’s never been a problem

Yeah, why not?

I never understood the panel's anyway. I just keep mine covered with black paper. I dont watch it print. Whatever happens happens.

What did you clean the vat with now we can’t get IPA?

Most of the resin was poured out so just used a tissue to wipe and warm soapy (fairy liquid) water again with a tissue to wipe clean now left to dry.

Thank God I had already bought about 10 large bottles beck when I first got my printer. Still have 5 left

Made my own ali baba for the uv lamp and solar powered turntable and Amazon for the reflective sheets

you might want to try reseating the screen connector.

Thanks, will do. Fingers crossed that solves it

Ya I had the same problem I reseated the connection and was good
