Since it’s important to let the part dry before curing, could a “Dry Time” be added to the Form Cure that starts a timer while the station heats up? Once the Dry Timer expires, the curing timer begins. If the timer expires before the heat temperature is reached, the curing timer begins once the temperature is reached.

The heat should help speed up the dry process and the timer would help automate the process a bit more. Of course, pools of IPA should be removed prior to insertion into the Form Cure and the time would vary based on the resin and the geometry. Recommended settings would be helpful for each resin.

Please yes!  
I’m using Monocure ResinAway and that stuff makes the print surface look much better. However, drying takes longer than IPA. Would be really helpful to have this feature.
