  Somewhat. It’s in my basement and it usually hovers around 50* in there until the summer (which it is not).

    I’m assuming you don’t mean 50C. This is your problem. You need to buy or build a heating solution for your printer. There are many commercial products available. You need a temperature 75F or higher for resins before you print. Some print best at 80F+.

      Exactly. I was printing fine, then winter came, and everything started to fail. Got a cheap fermentation Heating Belt wrapped around my vat and everything was working great again Then I wasn’t being diligent about cleaning my plate and started getting fails until I realized the issue.

        The cheapest and easiest trend to be the Brewers bands. People wrap them around their resin vats.

        I built the one in the second video but there weren’t as many out of the box solutions back then.

    Im presently doing all my printing via craftcloud. It seems too expensive and fiddly to do it myself. But I’ve got this room where, if I get a printer, I’ll put it.

    So if I do it like a humidor. Controlled environment and ventilation. Is this the normal thing to do?
