Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Steve: 1) I am using a LittleRP printer. We are instructed to add a 1 second delay in the GCode section. One consequence of this is that the time estimates that CW provides are always wrong (prints always take longer than estimated). One solution would be to find a way to add that delay into the Co...

Are you clicking on an icon on the desktop or in the CW folder?

Suppose one put a sheet of white paper where the VAT should be and photographed a fully white projected image from above. Assuming that the brightest areas in UV will also be the brightest areas in other "colors" (which I suppose translates to supposing that the lens system does not treat...

Yeah, just out side of Lisboa

The white to black is a function of the showzbuffer command in rhino which makes white the surface closest to the camera and black the furthest away. So on the case of my example it's a function of the uv reading surface and the plane. After that it's a matter of trial and error too adjust it so you...

Here you go

Issues with the print would be a few air bubbles trapped in the middle, a little delam on the larger brid...

I know a lot of work is going in to a new version of CW and I thought I'd share slightly annoying bug I come up against every time I use CW. I find that if I'm in the 3d view and I click on anything in the options on the right hand side (Move, Mirror, Scale ect.) and the scroll bar isn't at the very...

Seems to have worked quite well. Just finished my first print of 9 chess pieces and only one had a little delam on the bottom other than that mostly perfect!
