I didn't remove the color wheel on the projector since it seems to work fine with Makerjuice resins. I only had to add an spacer to the lens assembly in order to shorten the throw.
I just need to place the arduino controller and stepper driver and that's pretty much it. Hopefully my next photos will be of prints.
Happy new year, everybody!

I don't have an aluminum welder, so after a little research I found that you can actually solder with aluminum by using a torch and aluminum brazing rods.
These can be bough at Harbor Freight Tools.
For the torch.
For the rods, and
instructional video.
Enjoy like I did!!

Well, 2014 is ending and work is winding down a little bit. So I've been able to roll my sleeves up and get to work on my machine's redesign from bottom-up to top-down. Still preserving the original idea of building it out of mostly scrap materials, that otherwise would have been melted down for recycling. Needless to say that I am very happy with the way things are turning up. The resin container can be positioned up or down depending on the Z size of the piece to be printed, therefore eliminating the need of having to fill up the container in order to print shallow pieces. This aluminum container will need 3.3 liters of resin or 1.0 liters depending on the size of the piece to be printed. I've decided against using a saline solution to support the resin. Also, instead of a wiper, I will use a flexible membrane to keep the level of the resin constant and to prevent the meniscus effect due to surface tension. I will either use Makerjuice or Funtodo resins.
I will keep you posted.
