3D model description

WARNING!!
UV emission will irreversibly destroy your sight if observed during operation. It also causes eye cancer.
NEVER STAY IN THE AREA OF WORKING UNIT.


Initially I designed this as handy (portable, foldable) device for curing my SLA prints ("Black Sun curing unit").
Recently I learned, that it is possible to use UV-C and to some extent UV-B lamps, as germicidal, virus elminating tools.
As I think it is good idea to spread and promote any technology that will help curbing the COVID pandemic, I vastly reduced the design's price and will update it with aditional (e.g. UV-C) lightsource types holders - if there are requests from You.

In this device i used cooling fan (dismounted from old PC) - to assure adequate working conditions for high-power UV LEDs; old printer power supply is utilized as power source.
Currently used light source is UV-A (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32964618008.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.51094c4dQ1mLQ1), as I mentioned above, If you need holder for specific type of UV-C lightsource, please point me to its specs - I'll gladly model additional parts improving this project.

3D printing settings

The stand elements can be both: 3D printed or cut from wood. Lightsource holder can be 3D printed with FDM or MSLA/SLA process. It is designed to fit into Elegoo Mars 3D printer build volume.
