Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Well, I tried adhesive FEP already in 2013: http://khwelling.nl/3d.dlp_printer.testing.php#tripple_vat Here I created one PolyStyreen resin container, with 3 different sections: * No coating * Adhesive FEP foil * PDMS So the results I found so far, working with this 'adhesive FEP': * It works better...
