Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Thanks guys! I'm intrigued by the simplicity of the DIY builds I keep seeing and the simplicity of the concept itself. Right now I'm leaning toward both build and buy. I'll wait for the LittleRP units to come online but in the meantime I'll try a build. For the relatively low cost of the parts sans ...

I should be able to get enough out of the sherline stuff + the g540 to pay for the printer build. I'm looking into the RAMPS 1.4 options now. Looking at this one: ht...
