Here are pictures of my post-processing setup. I print lots of smaller parts. It is a 5 gallon bucket, lined in foil with a wooden cover. The cover has a hole for the UV light. I added a resin heater to heat the chamber. I use separate timers for each: light and heater. My usual routine is 5 minutes of light and 60 minutes at 40C. The heater can go to 50 C if desired. I have about $125 in the setup including the timers which I wired myself. This setup meets 95% of my needs for printing, was easy to make and requires little room.

one pic shows the removable bottom, it's a piece of MDF board covered with foil. I drilled 1/16" holes every inch ad tapped pieces of 1/16" stainless steel rods into each hole. Buy the rods at a welding shop (TIG welding rods). Rods can be cut with pliers or side cuts.
