Re: SLA Project built with (mostly) recycled/salvaged parts.

Great work so far! :) "As the lenses in the polygon mirror assembly had the wrong optical properties for my application (different wavelength and different focussing distance), I removed them all. The optical system now consists only of the laser, its focussing lens, and the polygon mirror. The...

I was just going over updates for the Peachy printer the other day and saw this . Start watching at 1:35. My question is, how close to neutrally buoyant is it?
