Re: Arduino based controller for dlp printer

I think it can be done with a slower feed, ie, Zxx.xx F20, then after separation Zxx.x F100.( example only)

Re: uneven curing of the edges

Not sure why they have the metal piece on some projectors, others do not have it, so maybe
a way to correct optical errors, was any dirt present?, it looks like a newish device so should not
be as dirty as my ancient units, at least you now fully understand the optic system you have.

Re: Here's my DLP printer

somehow dither the core but leave the shell dense for each slice.

Or have a hatch pattern, hexagon, like quickcast on sla's

Re: Sylgard/QSil alternative?

The way I read it, its worth a try, some time ago I used uv clear silicone for vacuum casting, it could be the same stuff, letting UV through, the silicone mould with photo resin inside, was put in a light box to cure, it was faster than the two part stuff and simpler. The only way is to try it I'm ...

Re: uneven curing of the edges

i wonder if the light intensity is falling off , could be the optics need cleaning, or the bulb position?.
just a guess though.

Re: Lets build an easy to use controller board...

Some other functions that spring to mind are post processing,
part washing,
uv post cure.
which would probably be relay switched.
