Hello all! Thanks everyone for the excellent FAQ's, tools, and general community support. With all these resources I've been getting successful prints from almost the start since I got the printer a few weeks ago (see example print in pictures). One big frustration though...ever since the first print..I keep finding cured resin floating around in my vat after the print. It doesn't cause my prints to fail, but I do have to clean the vat each time which is getting frustrating.
Looking at other similar posts, people say it could be stray light. But I print only at night. So I started testing my bulbs by holding blobs of resin near them on a business card. The one closest to my printer (a couple of feet away) did cure resin when I was holding the card an inch away from the bulb (see CFL bulb in question in the pictures). But now I'm confused. Some people say "LED's have UV components", but other posts say "CFLs and Incandescents have UV, so use CFLs" . lol. I can't work with the printer in the dark, so how do I reliably figure out what kind of bulbs I could use in that room without trial and error and un-necessary expense? Is there a type / brand / "Kelvin temperature" of light bulbs that is known to reliably work? Thanks in advance.
Edit
: For those just coming to the conversation:
Printer: Original photon
Resin: Anycubic
Firmware: v4.0.11 (The only one that didn't give me frame shearing)
Typical exposure settings: 10s normal, 50s bottom layers, 4.5s off time, 8 bottom layers
That said, the test cube printed fine, but also had cured resin in the vat at the end.
