Isn't it a problem to put the resin and the curing machine that close?

I have wondered about it myself, but it hasn’t caused any problems in the 6 months I’ve been printing. The curing station cover is supposed to block 99.95% of UV rays according to Elegoo’s website.

And having to go through the curing station cover and the printer's cover means that even less gets through. Basically 0.05% of 0.05%, so effectively zero.

So no worries on that front.

At work we have multiple printers set up side by side with their respective curing station. No problems so far

Also curious about this, don't know the answer. I've been keeping mine right next to each other simply due to a lack of room. No ill effects yet though, and I've cured and printed things at the same time before
