Hi Helmi, some builders in here use a magnification of 4x.. for example this one.. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-ZOMEI-77mm-4-Macro-Close-Up-Closeup-Filter-Lens-for-SLR-Canon-Sony-Nikon/1608306087.html but for example this blog. didn't mention any modification: http://www.khwelling.nl...

it seems to be connect to the amount of energy is outputed by the projector.

your is 3000 lumens brightness <<-- it seems 2000 Lumen is the threshold to get creation with the resin so looks like your in the clear

Hi Finhead, your project is looking really nice, with the small elevation between your z-axis and the projector, this gives me some idea's how to tackly my project. I'm trying to build it to complex for example you are using 2 alu extrusions for the vat with no support at the end.. do you think this...

hi zerospace,

i'm using fep film for my printer, parts that i print are 2.7cm x 4.3cm, no tilt used.

The trick is using very slow detachment of the fep film,

Kind regards,
