Hello,
I have been getting some good results by airbrushing metalic paint onto 3D Prints.
I want to know if anyone on here has used or would recommend using the form cure V2 accelerate the drying time of an airbrushed piece. Understand this could very well be brand dependent on the paints. Overall looking for a way to speed up drying times for painting.
Best,
Christian
Hello @cbatungbacal - Form Cure is not just a heated chamber; it also exposes the part to 405 nm UV light. That is useful for post-curing resin prints, but it may not be ideal for painted parts. Many airbrush paints, especially hobby acrylics, metallics, candy colours, dyes, and fluorescent colours, are sensitive to UV exposure unless they are protected by a suitable clear coat.
For paint drying, you usually want controlled warmth and airflow, not necessarily UV. So unless the paint manufacturer specifically says UV exposure is acceptable, I would avoid using Form Cure as a general paint dryer.
A safer option would be a low-temperature drying box, food dehydrator, or warm-air setup with good ventilation, keeping the temperature within the paint and print material limits. If Form Cure had a heat-only mode with the UV disabled, that would make more sense.
Off topic - I am interested in viewing the finished air brushed models. 
Hope this helps

I personally have used my Cure V2 to dry parts faster. You can set a preheat time of 30m, I usually do 50 or 60C, and you can set the UV cure time to 0 so that it only circulates hot air. Works pretty well actually, I wish it would go longer than 30 minutes of preheating.
I use mine to cure UV finish coats. If I’m printing a master for casting, I finish with a satin or glossy UV surface coat and cure it at room temp, so as not to expand tiny bubbles into pinholes in the finish. Works great.
