Build Your Own SLA/SLS

I had posted this topic in the General discussion of the forum . I felt this section was more appropriate:

What type of structured light scanner are you using? Commercial or homemade? Looks like you're getting pretty good scan resolution! Hello PomeroyB I made the scanner using two 5MP uEye cameras and a projector I had laying around initially meant for my 3D printer. The software is Flexscan 3D. The re...

hello seasick on the ballbar tuning , do i input the lenght of the bar or the diameter of the ball ？ thx man alex Actually, you input the distance between the centers of the balls. I believe the easiest way to do this is by attaching to ping-pong balls to a wooden dowel. It is important to know the...

BTW, I was the one asking question on you tube as well.. so you don't need to reply in both place :D I kind of thought you were the same person. I don't have a build log for the scanner since this forum is dedicated to 3D printers. I have Version 3.1.7.77, so I'm thinking yours is newer and should ...

Hello seasick Thanks for your reply , I'm not sure if both of my cameras are having the same firmware , how do I check ? I place the scanner about 40cm apart, left-right 20cm form the projector lens , scanning object is about 50cm far, that's too close ? the calibration went fine, the object looks ...

How every the scan result was bad, the size was 0.6mm off all the way around, what do you think the problem is ? Also I would like ...

@seasicksinbad Could you tell us where/how you got the Flexscan3d software? Any site I come upon also requires the purchase of that company's scanner. I just want the software like yourself. TIA Mine is an older version software that came in a computer already setup for the scanner, I suppose you c...

Yes!! And the results are not conclusive unfortunately. It seems like the guys at MIT worked out some kind of sorcery when creating the Liquiglide. First thing, let me tell you that a bottle of ketchup, or any other bottle built with this technology is more elaborate that I expected. It is built of ...
