Iβm going to be attempted to show how to properly clean up your printer UV cases
Iβm planning on basically wet sanding and polishing but if you have suggestions let me know π€£π should make for a dumb fun video

Oh I remember reading that Reddit post, was it the guy drying models on top of the cure station and printer?

I had some success with Denatured Alcohol, at least in cleaning partially cured resin off plastic..though nto sure what it would do to clear plastic.

Oooh now that would be interesting to see, we have 2 EMars2Pro's and a EMurcPlus that have foggy covers due to resin and alcohol getting messy here at work. Hope your efforts do the job because it would be nice to have a weekend where I can go in and clean them up properly for a change!

Yeah... "Someone" on reddit. ;) I actually give away my Mercury Plus to a friend who has just started resin printing. It was my first W&C and because of that, it was also messy. Things will happen without experience and work flow. I cured everything and give it a good wipe with WD40 and told him to buy a new container. Long story short. I am interested in a cleaning tutorial video, even if it's now to late but just in case. And as cleaning is boring I would suggest that you play the role of the dumbest assumable user and show in a funny way, how you should definitely not handle a W&C. After that cleaning. ;)

That's awesome ... recently I had a fep sheet get a hole it and didn't notice and it leaked inside my Saturn. Not sure if you've done an episode of how to clean up a mess like that.

Could always try the wood glue again π€£

Ffs..... I have a good suggestion. Take it out and use a hose!
