The Challenge

A hobbyist resin printer needed a dedicated enclosure to safely house a UV curing lamp and properly post-cure printed parts. Off-the-shelf options didn’t offer the right mounting configuration or structural layout for their specific lamp, so a custom-designed base was required.

The Solution

Designed in Fusion 360, this enclosure base was engineered specifically to integrate and secure the client’s UV lamp. The raised center section (shown printed upside down) was modeled as a dedicated mounting platform, ensuring proper alignment and structural support inside the enclosure.

Black ABS was selected for its superior heat resistance compared to PLA, making it well-suited for extended UV curing sessions where internal temperatures can rise. The geometry was optimized for rigidity and clean integration without requiring post-processing.

Key Features

Material: Black ABS
Print Method: FDM
Design Software: Fusion 360
Integrated UV lamp mounting platform
Heat-resistant material selection for enclosed environments
Rigid, stable base for consistent curing performance
No post-processing required — clean print off the bed

The Result

The enclosure base printed successfully on the first iteration and required no redesign. The client received a purpose-built curing platform tailored to their workflow, delivering a safer, more professional post-processing setup for resin parts.
