Re: New Creation Workshop RPi Host

So I've built my DLP printer and it works in CW, but there seems to be some trouble connecting to it through the web dashboard in CWH. I've plugged my Arduino/RAMPS into the raspberry pi in both USB ports and there's some acknowledgement LED on the Arduino, but it won't start. If I click start, a m...

Re: How much ml is a drop of FTD pigment?

Drops are an inaccurate measurement since dropper size, temperature, etc... can all impact this. I would recommend pigmenting between 0.5% and 2% by weight or volume (both pigment blends and resins are in the 1.1-1.2 density range, which is close enough to be the same between weight and volume at th...

Re: Synthesizing Resin

Cool! Can you tell us what pigment you eventually used and what resin you dispersed it into? I"m particularly interested in your mention of "carbon allotrope" in the your photos, although that description seems somewhat generic since carbon forms many allotropes (e.g. diamond is an al...

Re: led that DO NOT cure resin

I think that almost any 2700K LED will serve your purpose.

Re: Inexpensive UV Cure Resin

Interesting. SunCure UV 2000 appears to be a type of BAPO photoiniator with similar characteristics to the "819" family of photoinitiators that are sold by various different companies and is commonly used in 3D printing resins. https://www.docketalarm.com/cases/PTAB/IPR2013-00049/Inter_Par...
