Build Your Own SLA/SLS

I was wondering if sugar-water solution could work to. You can mix about 2kg of sugar into 1liter of water. You can obatain something similar to honey I think but more fluid. Yesterday I have try to mix come sugar with water, and then put some drops of resin on it. It float very well :D Was wonderin...

After the previus print I make the same plate (2 rings 2 kinights) but a 0.1mm LH, 5second exposition time. And it come out well! WP_20150319_15_37_55_Pro.jpg WP_20150319_15_37_20_Pro.jpg I think the curing time is good. Maybe a little of z-wobble... Well I have to keep trying :D I was wondering if ...

New prints! I have done another 0.05mm plate. 2 rings and 2 of this statue http://www.buildyourownsla.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2800 the statue come out quite well...

Wow
me and my friend were talking about that today too

We are now working with salt water but we want to change into somenthing different!

let us know how it works

In these days I have "fixed" (maybe I should say improve...) my calibration. And now I'm doing some pretty prints. Not perfect yet, but pretty. This was done yesterday WP_20150319_09_56_57_Pro.jpg First decent print afeter a simple cube :D I want to go under so today I have cut in half the...

Hi thanks for the answer :D Yeah I know that now :\ In these days I have done a lot of experiments. Now I have done some pretty good print. The resing is good but not soo good... as you said it's a bit translucent and it took me long time to find the correct (or maybe it's bettere to say a quite bal...

Hi again. My first attempt to create a DLP 3D printer was a bottom-up. But me and my friends give up to that design. Now we are building a top dow style. We are printing the first test object. The Projector is a Optoma hd200x DLP Fun To Do castable resin (color red). WP_20150313.jpg I have try to se...

mmm So flex vat should be the way... What's you actual configuration Phife? When I think about flex vat in my mind I see something made with a single film o FEP (I have found 0.05mm from Germany but I think is too much thin) or something made from a tablet protector film (if I remember correctly the...

Hi thanks for reply :) These are options that I have suggest to my comrades. But now they want absolutly avoid something like tilt or slide system. They said "it's noisy"... I told them to make some adjustment but they don't want to change the project at the moment and try as much as we ca...

Hi first post after presentation ;) I'm building a bottom-up SLA printer together with some friends. Direct projection, no mirror at the moment. In this alpha/test machine I have a vat with a teflon film (not completly transparent... a little opaque but still works great. The UV pass well and the re...
