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?

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.
