Stop guessing your UV resin cure times. ResinCure calculates the right curing seconds from resin type, layer thickness, and lamp wattage, then logs every layer of your piece with a photo. Fewer sticky surfaces, less yellowing, no wasted resin. WHY CRAFTERS USE IT Cure time changes with resin type, thickness, coloring, and your UV/LED lamp. Guess wrong and the surface stays tacky or the core never sets. ResinCure gives you a recommended time and a clean timer, so every layer cures right. CURE TIMER - Pick resin type, drag thickness, choose lamp wattage (24 / 36 / 48W) - Get a recommended cure time and a big circular countdown - Haptic buzz and a local notification when curing is done LAYER PHOTO LOG - Build a piece layer by layer - Each layer keeps its photo, thickness, cure seconds, and a note - See the whole build as a timeline and mark pieces complete RESIN PRESETS - Built-in presets for Hard, Soft, UV+LED, and Doming - Save your own custom presets for the resins you actually use BUILT RIGHT - Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no ads - Works fully offline - English and Japanese, mm / inch units FREE & PREMIUM Free: one piece, built-in presets, and the full cure timer. Premium (one-time purchase): unlimited pieces, custom presets, and unlimited photo logging. Buy once, keep it forever. Cure times are guidance based on typical resin and lamp behavior; individual lamps vary, so treat them as a starting point.
