I chose the S&T category just to be sure: This ain’t a joke, serious question! I’d like to place an IR LED webcam pointing towards the form2 just to remote monitor any issues while printing. i know IR is just at the oposite spectrum of light than UV but the question is… is it 100% safe to shred IR light over uncured resin??
Once again, asking from complete ignorance, no pun intended!
Yes, this is safe to do.

I keep an ARLO camera pointed at my Form2 24/7. It has IR illumination for night mode. Now it only illuminates when activated by motion or manual live feed. But I have had no problems. IR range on this camera is about 30-40 feet and I have it placed 3 feet from printer. This allows 24/7 viewing of unattended prints from anywhere in the world. I cant stop it from anywhere if it fails during a print but I can call for help, lol. I have only had 2 print failures so far. So very rare.

Neat, thanks for the input
My idea was to put it stuck to the acrílic as it’s very tiny and comes with suction. Cups. Lol we’ll. See…
Did u consider some. Sort. Of. WeMo switch to shut down the whole. Thing or would. That be excessive?
This. I have 96% print success over 86 prints, and only one of these few failures would have been see on a webcam… plus, although one of the parts failed about 5 hours into a 30 hours print (detached from the supports), the other part printed fine.
