The only open source option is the Prusa, and it is pricey. All of the other options are proprietary and most are trying to bait customers into subscription services. Most also require cloud network access. This will never really change as far as the community software support. The issue is the display drivers for almost all high definition display technology is proprietary. Most hardware is unique in its implementation and API, so reverse engineering is only valid for one revision of one device. The data is hard to decode too. Anyone with a lab capable of reverse engineering is unlikely to have the time and motivation for such a limited return.

Generally, the resin is cured partially on the build plate, then the part is removed and washed, and finally the part is cured with a UV lamp or station.
