Machine Settings

Intensity Output (I)
Select the light intensity according to the material characteristics, shape, and thickness. Level 1 is the lowest output (i.e. 43.8 mA LED for 7018 mW/cm2 light intensity);
Level 16 is the highest (i.e. 700 mA LED for 112295 mW/cm2 light intensity)
NOTE: For the best results during a ﬂat and thin print, we strongly recommend using a lower intensity output and a longer curing time.

Duty Cycle (D)
Select the period of illumination per cycle according to the characteristics of the print. Level 1 is the shortest period of illumination (i.e. 10% of the cycle);
Level 10 is constant illumination. ACKURETTA-CURIE-UV-Oven-for-3D-Printing-

NOTE: For the best results during a small print, we strongly recommend using a lower-intensity output and a longer curing time.

Curing Time (T)
Select the duration of the curing process. The curing time can be set to any value between one second and 20 minutes.
