UV LED strip and curing times

I posted a thread with the details of the curing “jar” I made. These LEDs definitely work. When I wipe down the build platform after removing a print, I toss the paper towel in to the jar. The areas of the paper towel that are “wet” with resin fluoresce. After a few minutes, those areas will “crack” if you attempt to fold/crease the paper. Resin cured. When I put a print in, tackiness goes down noticeably after about 15 minutes and is pretty much gone after about an hour. But I’ve noticed if I leave the print in the jar for 8 hours or so, it comes out much “harder”. I’m assuming that my LEDs don’t have quite the right frequency and power for deep penetration and so, a deep cure takes time, even after the surface is completely cured. But I usually schedule a print to finish an hour or so before I’m going to bed, and letting it sit in the LED jar overnight is no problem.

If your UV LEDs or Bulbs aren’t curing the resin it can only be because they’re the wrong frequency UV.
