Is it cold where your printer is?
Somewhat. It's in my basement and it usually hovers around 50* in there until the summer (which it is not).
I'm assuming you don't mean 50C. This is your problem. You need to buy or build a heating solution for your printer. There are many commercial products available. You need a temperature 75F or higher for resins before you print. Some print best at 80F+.
Once you get the temperature taken care of 6 seconds will likely be too high of an exposure time for a monochrome LCD printer.
Great! Thank you so much for the help. I'll start researching!
The cheapest and easiest trend to be the Brewers bands. People wrap them around their resin vats.

I built the one in the second video but there weren't as many out of the box solutions back then.
