specs for UV lights for curing resin ?
#3
20-40w is vaguely where you want to be, but it doesn't matter much: and it's a good thing too, because there is no consistency. This isn't that surprising, because most of the UV lamps are LED, so it's actually listing the "equivalent" rating, and there's a lot of variation going on.

The big thing is if you are not using a water washable resin: Submerge your parts in water during post-cure. This dramatically improves curing. It can take a print from 2 hours and failing to fully cure, to just 15 mins and being perfectly cured.
