Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Very nice!! And a good size as well. I made mine out of aluminum and was having a hard time putting the pieces together only with the help of bolts. Until I found out you can actually solder/braze aluminum with Alumiweld rods. They are very easy to use, inexpensive, and you only need a torch and som...

Latest updates. I built the projector support using 3/4" plywood. If this becomes the definitive setup, then I will have it made of aluminum. I didn't remove the color wheel on the projector since it seems to work fine with Makerjuice resins. I only had to add an spacer to the lens assembly in ...

OK! I just found out that turned out to be incredibly useful. At least for me, hehehe. My machine is mostly made of aluminum and was having a hard time putting it together by using mostly bolts, nuts and threads. I don't have an aluminum welder, so after a little research I found that you can actual...

Really nice, clean build! Certainly doesn't look like it's made from scraps! You'd be surprised with the kind of stuff I run into in my recycling business. The black plastic table is an older CRT monitor stand, the metal feet where the container is mounted came from a Dell docking station. The alum...

IMG_5714.JPG IMG_5718.JPG Well, 2014 is ending and work is winding down a little bit. So I've been able to roll my sleeves up and get to work on my machine's redesign from bottom-up to top-down. Still preserving the original idea of building it out of mostly scrap materials, that otherwise would ha...

I have been working with a top down printer design with resin floating on saline water and I was wondering about your problem. I placed some Makerjuice SF resin in a container with saline water and it separated properly although there's seems to be a "transition" zone where resin and water...

Bienvenido!!

Could you tell me more about the scanner? If i´m correctly, it seems Flexscan3D seems to be capable of using multi camera setup, one point i´m really interested in. Hello, Leinad78, The version of Flexscan3D I have supports multiple scanners, each scanner can be single or dual camera. I only have o...

It seems cool. But why sacrificing precious printer uptime and expensive resin when you can print the model directly and then make silicone molds. I create my pewter molds using smooth-on's moldmax 30 silicone rubber. You can cast multiple times with minimal detail loss. And if you create a support ...
