Here's an instructable I've created:https://www.instructables.com/id/UV-Curing-Chamber-for-Resin-Prints/

Finally finished my curing chamber after about a week, modeled and printed an enclosure . for the electronics, and a bigger platter for the solar powered turntable because the one included was pretty tiny. Would have been shorter if I had more time. Made this to be able to cure everything that may come in contact with resin; gloves, paper towels, containers, tools, etc. Just trying to keep the water ways clean and properly dispose of things. Most parts I had on hand already, but I did have to buy a few things, most things you can get on AliExpress or Amazon if you don't want to wait, I've include the links below. The Amazon links are affiliated. I also printed the little housing for the LCD timer relay and spst switch. Below is the list of everything you'd need and estimated cost to build a UV Chamber like this:
IKEA EKET Cabinet with door $25 . IKEA
SPST Switch $0.80 Amazon Aliexpress
LCD Digital timer relay $3 Amazon Aliexpress
Lever nuts $10 Amazon Aliexpress
2x 12"x78" roll of mirror vinyl $20 Amazon Aliexpress
16.4' 20AWG silicone wire $2 Amazon Aliexpress
16.4' UV LED strip with power $17 Amazon
2 Pin LED strip connectors $8 Amazon
Solar powered turntable $3 Amazon Aliexpress
Total cost, if most things are bought from Aliexpress = ~$90
Again, probably cheaper if you forgo a few things or find them cheaper elsewhere.
Here's what I would have done differently:
Not use the 2 Pin LED strip connectors, they're kinda bulky, I would just solder the strips with wire.
Measure twice, cut once
Take more time on making sure the vinyl had no bubbles
Run the 12v Power outlet in the back
Use a stronger adhesive on the UV LEDs than what was provided
Probably solder wires instead of using lever nuts
Please note that UV lights can damage eyes and proper safety precautions and measures should be taken. I suggest wearing UV protection safety glasses while working with these lights. I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your eyes, self, or equipment.
