                  After you wash the object in isopropyl alcohol, we recommend rinsing it ​briefly under running water​ to remove the remnants of isopropyl alcohol. Then, dry it with a paper towel. Remove the tank from the CW1 and place the object on the rotating platform. Don’t place it in the center, instead, place it near the edge of the platform. Another option is to insert the whole printing platform with the object still attached.

                  Close the lid.​ The CW1 will recognize that the tank has been removed and offer Drying and Curing modes on the LCD screen. ​Always keep the lid closed​ - there’s a safety switch in the lid that will stop the process in case you open the lid. ​Select ‘Start drying/curing’ on the LCD screen.

                  The drying and curing times are set to ​3 minutes​ each. It’s a default value that works well for a majority of 3D printed objects. In case you would still find the object a bit sticky, you can re-run the process​ until you reach the optimal result. You can set the run-times either via the Run-time menu or during the process itself by rotating the knob.

                  Once these actions finish, the CW1 will let you know with a beep (default settings, the sound notification can be disabled).

                  I only have drying option. it just dries for 3 minutes and stops, does not go to curing part of the procedure. Running firmware: v3.1.0, build 237, cae8bbe736d7479539      UPDATE  "Its not a bug its a feature"              1. Go to settings -> run mode 2. Select "drying/curing"                                                                                        Looks like defaults in that FW build is different than documentation assumes.

                  Hi! You can try a long press of the black knob to change the run mode easily :)

                  I ran the curing twice and the object stays a little bit sticky on one side only. Should I just leave it outside for some time, will it dry on its own? Somehow I feel like curing it for 10 minutes is not the way to go, but maybe I'm wrong?

                  Hello. You can cure the print in the CW for 10 minutes more. It can also be left outside, it would only take more time to cure this way.
