Build Your Own SLA/SLS

thanks pacmanfan,

that worked - I'll be putting the machine together now, and probably come back later with some more questions

Hey all, I am now in a status where I have Arduino, Ramps 1.4, two steppers and the projector working in an unassembled way together with Creation workshop. The steppers move and the slices are projected - great so far. I'll be using a Z-axis to lift the build platform, and the X-axis to slide the V...

Hi Clinton, thanks for sharing. Even though I couldn't use the exact same configuration.h, since I am using different axis and different endstops (mine are opto endstops), it was a great help to better understand that file. I was able to get it to work (in an unassembled state - the rest is yet to c...

Hi, I connected two stepper motors to an Arduino Mega 2560 with a Ramps 1.4 shield. (one for Z, one for X) After uploading the Ramps Testcode as it can be found here http://reprap.org/wiki/File:RAMPSTestCode.pde the steppers work fine, they are turning nicely in both directions, also the optical end...

@Finhead: yes, why not post your Settings here as a reference. I'd appreciate that. @Pacmanfan: I can confirm that setting the value #define EXTRUDERS to "0" seems to destroy the code so that it can't compile it anymore. I struggled with Creation Workshop a bit. One of the steppers did mov...

Yay, thanks Pacmanfan, that's exactly what I was looking for. Here already are my first questions: Logically the DLP based 3D printer does not have any heatbed, extruders or fans - can I still use "33" as a value for #define MOTHERBOARD ? - how about #define EXTRUDERS ? Can I change the va...

Hi all, I am in the process of building a DLP based 3D Resin Printer, using Creation Workshop on my PC, and Marlin on the Arduino Mega 2560 with Ramps 1.4. Constructing the parts is a lot of fun and very easy for me (as I am a student in mechanical engineering), but I am a noob in coding. My frame w...
