Thanks to the help of the community forums and a bunch of research on the various DIY curing posts we finally made our own! The main construction is made up from a U-shaped bent stainless steel piece and 1/2" plywood for the bottom, back, and door. The door is skinned with laser cut amber acrylic and white styrene and I cut apart a spent resin tank to create the window which includes the Formlabs Logo. I used this solar powered turn table: [https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Y2AW3C/ref=oh\_aui\_detailpage\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Y2AW3C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I cut apart the housing so I could embed the gearbox into the bottom plywood. The wires to the solar panels were extended and I hotglued the panels along the bottom back wall. I laser cut a clear acrylic disc to fit atop the supplied turntable. These LEDs worked great from another post I found. I used 2 rolls and probably could have fit 3 but the two seem to do a great job.

I’d like to throw an arduino in at some point to enable some sort of timer and I should have plenty of room to expand when I get around to it. Hopefully this will give some ideas and inspiration for those looking to make their own. Thanks for looking! ![20171003_161655(0)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/a/a54dde1ac078a3c5de79084b5cacbe16f7a641f8.jpg) ![5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/6/62b506fa993765bcc3181508a8dbd0001001a9ae.jpg) ![3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/5/5c5aa854182bc0cedb9b79c0008f4cb88bb2ca5d.jpg) ![4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/1/15fb698dd6e737b779fee22d5e27ea9d5db5e54a.jpg) ![6](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/6/6cfa1548616c09554b696624d65da84db9feada6.jpg) ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/9/99eecaac613fbf7994cef9b049d6423eb2a550e1.jpg) ![7](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/2/23505d5df43925634c4f10194465eb7c80b44ee0.jpg) ---
