Formlabs resin uses UV light to cure. What do you mean by “Wood Lights”? Do they cast UV light?

[DavidRosenfeld]

I believe @MauroCampana is referring to a black light.

[MauroCampana]

Yes, " Wood Lights " and " Black Light " is the same tipe of lights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklight

I have a stripe of wood lights and I want to try for cure the resin.

We made a tutorial for building your own UV Curebox here:

It uses a 36W nail light so as long as your wood lights are equal to or greater than that wattage you should be fine.

Thanks Jordan

I made a cure box with a old small oven that I have.
I used the LEDs at 405nm and “Black Light” LEDs that I had ( about 100 watts total ) and it seems it works.

I wish you a happy weekend.
