XYZPrinting UV Curing Chamber

The XYZ product is news to me as of a couple weeks ago. It is certainly beautiful. It has CUREbox beat in the aesthetics department. Having said that, it ends there for XYZ as far as I can tell on a relatively quick review.

The XYZ curing chamber also costs about 43% less; it seems like that would be an advantage worth mentioning.

Curebox has temperature control from 30-60C, a necessary ingredient for a quality post-cure. The XYZ product does not appear to have temperature control.

My homemade chamber achieves around 45C (without any heaters) and works perfectly fine without temperature control. I am not sure what temperature the XYZ works at, but I would suspect that the enclosure would trap adequate heat in from the lights as have all the chambers I have used do.

CUREbox has more than double the wattage LED lamps and it is still necessary to have cure times longer than 60 minutes for proper post-cure. The XYZ product maxes out a 60 minutes.

Does the Curebox have focused light like XYZ claims their product does? Could having focused light enable it to be possible to cure in 60 minutes or less? Seems like XYZ must have somehow determined that 60 minutes was adequate.

CUREbox is wet cure friendly. All of CUREbox’s electronics are in the top so you can safely water cure. I would not recommend that in the XYZ product.

I am just curious; how did you determine it is not advisable to place a glass jar with water in it in the XYZ chamber? It seems like you wouldn’t recommend the XYZ product period.
