3D Printer UV Resin Curing Light for SLA/DLP/LCD 3D Printing, Solidify Photosensitive Resin, 405nm UV LED Lights with 60w Output Affect

Disclaimer: I received this light at no charge, for review purposes, but my review will be fair and unbiased. The manufacturer lists this UV light as a solution for people who have resin printers, and who need it to fully cure their 3D resin prints. Although I don't yet own a resin printer myself, I have friends whose opinions I respect, that have and like this UV light for that purpose. My interest in the light, however, is for use with UV cured glues/plastics. I have been using a popular repair solution known as "Bondic," as well as less expensive products sold as "5-second Fix - Plastic Welding Tool," etc. All of these products use a pen-shaped applicator to allow repairs of broken objects using a liquid "glue" that hardens instantly under UV light. I have found that these solutions work great in situations where one needs to quickly fill and/or build repairs where the adhesive needs to set instantly, such as broken glasses frames, etc, but sometimes the tiny UV lights that come with them don't do as great a job at fully curing the products as I would like ... so I decided to try this much higher powered solution instead. My conclusion is: "WOW!" This light does a fantastic job of instantly curing the various glues/gels I've used, and the fact that I don't have to hold my finger on a button for an extended period of time is icing on the cake! The six UV LEDs shine very brightly, and get the job done effectively! The light gets warm with extended use, but never hot to the touch. So, let's talk about what you get: The light comes with an attached bracket that will let you easily mount it to whatever surface you choose. I would have liked if the housing had been molded so that it could stand freely without the bracket attached, but this isn't a big problem because the bracket itself can be used as a "foot" to help the light stand on a flat surface at multiple angles. The power cord has an integrated switch so that you don't have to plug or unplug the light in order to use it, AND because the switch is attached to the cord and not built into the light, if you mount the light inside an enclosure you don't have to reach in to switch it on or off. One important thing to note is that while the item description uses the word "enclosure," there isn't actually an enclosure included. You will have to build or provide that yourself, if you intend to use this to cure resin prints and want to reflect or disperse the UV light. Without an enclosure, you'll either need more than one light, or you'll have to rotate the object you're curing in order to make sure the UV rays shine on all surfaces. Aside from wishing the light had been molded with "feet," my only other suggestion is that the lens be redesigned so that the light from all six LEDs focuses evenly on the part being cured. The current lens projects a cross-hatch pattern that seems to focus more intense light along the borders of each LED rather than a more even dispersion of light. While I don't believe that there is a big difference in intensity, it could be better on future models. However, I would not hesitate at all in recommending this light to anybody who needs an economical and very bright UV solution!

I got this to cure UV resin on circuit boards. It does this extremely well and quickly. My only complaint is that it gets pretty hot fast, but for my application it's not a problem. If I were to need to run it for a long period, id add a fan, but then again im a DIY kind of person so just be warned of the heat issue

Looking for a UV light that's more than just for resin printers? Look no further. The UltraCure UV Light is not just a hit among resin printer users; it's also a game-changer for those working with UV-cured glues and plastics. While its primary purpose is to fully cure 3D resin prints, its versatility extends to curing UV-based adhesives with impressive efficiency. What sets this light apart is its power and convenience. Featuring six ultra-bright UV LEDs, it swiftly cures various glues and gels without the hassle of holding down a button for ages. Plus, its thoughtful design includes an attached bracket for easy mounting, ensuring flexibility in usage. And with an integrated switch on the power cord, turning it on and off is a breeze, adding to the overall user convenience. Sure, there are minor improvements that could be made, like a redesigned lens for more even light dispersion and molded feet for stability without the bracket. But overall, the UltraCure UV Light shines bright as a reliable and economical UV solution, highly recommended for anyone in need of a powerful curing tool that goes beyond resin printing. Bonus points for being used by a few folks in my house. My wife has taken up resin crafts and was looking for a good curing light so this ended up working in a few spots in my house.

Way faster than the pen sized lights!

I've been using this to make cyanotype prints for 6 months and I'm happy with this light. Defiantly recommend making a lightbox setup with aluminum foil and a cardboard box so it doesn't get uneven exposure. It is small so if you're working with prints bigger than ~5x7 you'll need to move your lightbox around. However it creates consistent results, doesn't get hot, and is holding up well.

What a Life Saver! My wash and cure station went on the fritz, just as I hade an order for a Love Potion and Some Finials. Looking over the offerings on Amazon, this light had the fastest shipping at a great price. 24 hours later, I was able to finish up the last of the finials and can package the order to ship When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised. I expected plenty of plastic for the casing on the light but it is all a very nicely finished metal. The cord is fairly long and has the On/Off switch to make it so you don't have to worry about plugging it in to get started or stopped. I placed the light in front of my wash and cure station and tried to use the turntable to cure the prints all the way around. However it will only do the wash cycle and not the cure. Needles to say, the spin cycle is way to fast to keep anything on the little turntable. After picking the parts off the floor, I ran the light for 30 seconds, then moved the plate by hand, and continued on, until the parts had all been cured all the way around.. The light is very bright, as you can see by how well it lit up the orange plastic on the MK3. I will be getting a new cure station but I will be keeping this around, just in case!

Meaning, on my first attempt, I got the light as little close, and the product cured too fast resulting in a bubble. Second pass, with a little patience, things went a little better but clearly, that is not a fault of the light, more likely my ignorance, but I am working on it! Occasionally, I need something that is stronger than 3D printing media can product. I use resin to fill areas for structural integrity. Basically, the resin I pointed this at set insanely fast. I'm excited to do and learn more.

I would love to give a better review but I cannot. Initially I was very surprised by the quality feel and construction of this product. This light has an all metal case and mounting bracket. The cord and built in switch are also of good quality. Lens and internal reflector are also very nice looking. The problem, which has been mentioned by others. The LED's only last a short time. The unit I purchased only has 40 to 50 hours of use. The LEDs are already noticeably weaker with most of them looking burnt out. The effectiveness of the LED's have also diminished to nothing in that time. Edit: After more research, it is likely I am not using this as intended. The limited to zero cooling this unit has does not make it suitable for prolonged use. Anything more than 30 to 60 minutes will likely ruin the leds. My recommendation, if you want something for continuous use buy something else. I am however, for the price, buying another unit and limiting the amount of time it is on in any one period. I think the description of the item could use some work to explain its usage more clearly.

Works really well for fast UV curing

A little on the expensive side, but works great on 3d prints! just a little too powerful so make sure you when to turn it off.

This UV light is excellent for curing resin prints. It cures evenly, is easy to use, and provides consistent results. Very reliable and effective for resin printing.

Yup works

Got this light for curing my 3d printer resin. Made a box lined with foil to help reflect the light. Works great. It does get a little hot so maybe not wise to have on for a long time in an enclosure. Overall does what it is supposed to do and it's fairly inexpensive.
