Phrozen Cure Luna Review
The Phrozen Cure Luna UV camera was released together with the Sonic Mighty 4K, and looks similar to the 3D printer in terms of design. The UV camera measures 11 x 11 x 14.75 inches (28 x 28 x 40 cm), which is just 2 inches smaller in height than the Sonic Mighty.
This UV camera is used during the final exposure of resin-printed parts. Secondary lighting, or “baking”, is an indispensable part of the resin 3D printing process. Post processing resin prints ensures that the parts you have printed end up with the desired strength.
