I recently bought an Anycubic Photon Resin DLP 3D printer and it is awesome. It uses UV light to cure thin layers of resin to create highly detailed 3D prints. You can see some examples below. You can leave your prints to cure on a windowsill but the UK is not known for its high levels of sunshine so you may also need a way to cure your UV after the print process. It normally is just a little soft so that you can dent it with a finger nail if you try hard. UV curing stops all of that.
This was a really easy UV curing chamber to build and only took me a couple of hours - most of which was soldering the LED strips. If you don't want to solder, you can probably just wind the LED tape around a suitable container.
