I agree, too much spam here...
Another option, could their be a button for all of us, to indicate something is spam.
With 3 or more hits, this post could then be invisible and removed by a moderator when necessary?

Cool, I'm also going this way. I bought a big 60W CO2 laser. I did some nice engravings already on wood, so for the resolution, I guess this will work. I will definitely try to do some sintering too. But have no clue where to start buying some sinter materials... What materials could be possible, wi...

the viscosity of resin can affect the speed... Since viscosity is also depended on temperature, it could also be wise to have a small heater+PID (or cooler!) inside the build platform, which guarantees a constant viscosity during build? One of my last build, I did encounter a lot of issue's with he...

Hi hp, maybe try something together? I was not really planning using different gasses, but might still be an option. I don't understand, why the Solidator (with a large buildplate) does have no issue's with a 'dome' effect.. But interesting anyway! @android78, your are not hijacking at all! Nice to ...

I got quite enthusiastic about the Carbon 3D printing material. I did understand from the post, that this material somehow allows even more air moving through the foil, then FEP does. So what will happen when we pressurize a FEP vat? This should allow more air going through the FEP I guess.. And wil...

any suggestions in terms of build vs buy... In both situations you need to buy a light source (either dlp/laser) + controller any ways. So it depend what you like to do most (fun-factor): buy -> (need to spend a little more money, since you have already a motor drive/raw material...) -> you could s...

Got some questions from Jeff by mail, maybe better to post it here instead: Nice work on the DIY 3d printer! I found your blog really informative and helpful. Thanks for sharing the build. Anyway, I saw that you have changed to a pillowed flex-vat design utilizing an off-the-shelf plastic container....

Although I like the 3dkitbash.com website, there are also some free options. I tried this one before, maybe this will help you also: http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/53/92/9f/f2/a0/Calibration_Matrix_preview_featured.jpg Free to download the calibration part at: https://www.thi...

Here I'm explaining how to use pronterface/projectlayer. Pronterface handles the USB-connection. Within pronterface, there is a program called 'project layer'. That's the one which is projecting an image to a second screen, by dragging the window there. Then this program also send NC-code to you ha...

"Retraction speed" is used within the PronterFace program and works in both ways. (It's used like: "g1 z2 f50") My guess: the lift speed is the most important. (But I'm not able to test this.) Even better would be a ramp-up, actually in both directions, I'm not sure if this is po...
