Parametrized DYI resin curing chamber, using UV LED strips.
Features:
- simplicity - no moving parts and a short BOM of commodity electronics
- fully customizable - build it as small, or as large as you wish, with the parts available to you
- safe to operate - doesn't turn on unless the cover is closed, designed with protecting against light leaks in mind

There is a bunch of DYI resin curing chamber projects out there, and with better features. Why build another?
Initially I had intended for this project to have a turn-table based on a tiny hobby DC motor with a reduction gearbox, therefore catching up on the feature set.
However, this was increasing the complexity a lot, causing me a lot of grief as the engine I'd used was very underpowered, and, as I soon noticed, didn't have much impact on the curing quality, probably due to the light source being all around the part, and not in a single place, as in some other projects.
Additionally, the build volume of my printer is tiny, so I didn't really need the size the other projects were offering out of the box. Instead, I wanted something I could scale up while keeping the innards intact if I wanted to.
The goal for a next version is to revisit the turn-table concept, as well as add in some form of a timer and display.
