Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Well... Here's a wrench. LOL Oddly it printed two wrenches when it should have been one. I'll have to look into that... Also note the lines in the print from the laser scan. Also the z axis went rogue at about 95% and moved down forcing me to shut the system down. This has happened twice on the same...

Excellent results! Can you display more than 3 or so slices? I want to know if I fixed that bug. The layer display time in this should be a constant time based on the number of pixels scanned. The next algorithm is going to skip over spans of unlit pixels in the image, this will make the individual...

F-theta lenses are $$$$$, though it will be necessary if you are trying to do a large print area. It will help with prevention of spot size deformation on the periphery. It does look like we are all using the same UV laser diode, I spoke with the manufacturer and its specced to have a spot size of ...

This is great! I would definitely be interested in this...

So far so good! Looks like curing takes a little more then one scan on my setup at .1. I'm currently running at .05 a layer which seems to help, but may go to .02 just to get more exposure time. Also focusing the laser looks to be a fun job! :) This is were I'm at so far: http://youtu.be/cv5_8GxU0d...

What would be the benefit of going for laser-version vs. DLP? (except for the bulky size of the projector) The DLP will have a much higher resolution in the XY compared to the cheap lasers and galvo setup most of us have. I'm going to guess at the start, the DLP will be faster curing each layer too...

Hi guys, What windows version are you running because when i use it on win 7 32bit get other output to lasershark then when i use win 7 64bit. And is the show calibrating working i get output when i do that. CW is hanging when i use lasershark one time then i kill all processes from CW, reset the l...

I made a change to put the intensity value in both the A/B channels. The C channel should be on when the intensity is above 1/2 value. You can use the same link as before to download it : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53792981/plugLaserSLA.zip Please let me know the results. I'm going to make...
