Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Thanks for the fast answer,

i've changed the setting in the machine control to x/y rate 10 and in the machine config the x feedrate to 100. Is it correct?

Are the any changes in the arduino firmware?

I've tested these settings and it didn't work.

Hey guys, after building my own SLA Printer, everything works fine except the tilt function. The z-axis works fine, and the x-axis, which is used for the tilt doesn't. You can here some noise from the stepper but nothing moves. I tested my Ramps and the stepperdriver with RepetierHost and everything...

Hey guys, I found a projector under the roof :shock: :P My first thought, ... yeah, i don't have to buy a dlp. It's a pico size model, so i thought it would be a dlp. I opened it an seperate each thing i will need.... everything was fine and i looked for the dlp unit,...because it must be a dlp.... ...

Ah okay,

but is there difference between 2 kinds of printing? I mean, resolution or something else?

Sorry, maybe it's a very stupid question, but doesn't anybody use a high torque rc Servo?

You can get cheap ones with a torque up to 40kg/cm an more. It's very easy to control servos, they are very strong, their accuracy should be sufficient. Also there is no need for a second stepper driver.

Hey, i think there is not suitable topic in this community, so i will start this now ;) I've read a lot about different kinds of building platforms, but until now there are so many different opinions...... So maybe we can start a summary of different building platform types with own experience. What...

First of all, thanks to you for your very nice documentation! You've mentioned that you've got problems to collimate the emitted light. Isn't it possible to set fibre optics in front of the led with a diameter of 4mm? Or maybe you can use an optical lens with a diameter of 10mm and a focus of maybe ...

Hey guys, when start planning my dlp printer, i made a list of NEEDED parts. What do you think about it? - DLP projector (should be modified) - a vat for resin (the projected area should be Borosilikatglas ( for example: Borofloat 1200x600x3mm around 28€ per pice) or quartz glass) - Z-Axis for lift ...
