UV light
After printing, the components are post-cured with UV light to complete polymerisation.

Manufacturing
Resin printing and post-curing
The earlier ÖBB page describes post-curing printed SLA resin parts with UV light and heat. The aims are complete polymerisation, greater hardness and improved dimensional stability.
Heat
Controlled heat can support cross-linking and reduce internal stresses.
Material quality
According to the reference page, post-curing improves hardness, stiffness, chemical stability and surface durability.

ÖBB main signal with distant signal V4.6
Combined H0 version with ÖBB main and distant signals at the same location, in our kit version 4.6. In real operation, a distant signal may be located at a main signal; the aspect it displays relates to the following main signal. This combination provides compact, prototype-oriented signalling on a model railway.
