Why will my FormCure not reach the max temp of 80C? Has been on for 1 hour since turned on, cover/door is shut fully.  
Warm up to 60C takes about 20min  
Since new 60C to 80C has taken 30 to 45min

Yes, I noticed the same thing…I’ve ended up lowering the temp to 76C in order to cure my rigid resin pieces. Kind of seems underpowered in the heating department unfortunately…

Same here. Takes ages to get up to 80°C and we’re not in a cold room (20-24°C depending on external temperature).

We have also lowered the target temp although we went for 78°C as we have found that it would take up to 20-30mins to get from 78 to 80, with a long period of time alternating between 78 and 79 on the display, so we figured the bottleneck wasn’t before 78 in our situation.

I am experiencing the same effect as well. The last five or so degrees take forever.
