Build Your Own SLA/SLS

I don't have much to add until I get my board from Phife. The only thing I can say is don't bother with removing the silver backing (and polarizer) from the ipad lcd. Using a piece of the polarizer without the coating, cure times seem to just reduce slightly. Not worth the trouble. I've got a new po...

Thanks so much! Understood on the reflow. I assume Paypal, I guess PM me for details on where to send.

REALLY appreciate Phife sharing all that he has. I'd love to help out but I already have most of the components already and it's a little out of my budget unfortunately.

For anyone working with the iPad lcd screen. I finally had the guts to peel off the reflective coating off the back in the hopes of getting more light through. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The only issue is the relfective layer is stuck pretty well to the polarizer so the polarize...

Some more information regarding this printer. 5 inches an hour is pretty impressive.

Phife's solution on the previous page of this thread is a good way to do this.

Here's where I got my board. Took about 10 days to get from Japan to US. http://abusemark.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=47&zenid=2ndov3i519ricbb4erfc89vh56 And where I got my screen http://www.ebay.com/itm/271544450038 I did a bit of digging and I think t...
