Build Your Own SLA/SLS

@ SidranaI am planning to use cw, but for now i have created my own software (and firmware) to control the printer(including a custom protocol), To be able to use cw i need to change the protocol to G-code and get to grips with cw. I think you could use firmware comparible to the fdm printers, altho...

The electronics, is just an arduino with a stepper driver, pins for a servo, motor and end-switches. Nothing too complicated (although the switches are hooked up to a comparer circuit, something that is not strictly needed).

You're answering your own question. Yes, the slider wil become less stable (not unstable!) when the rollers are close together, but that can pose a problem when the object reaches a hight of approx 20 cm, something i'm not planning to use often. I used this design to get a linear guide that i could ...

The vat does not move. het object moves. The linear guide I've made is a bit different from what is common. That causes the confusion i guess. I'll post a clarifing picture when my stepper driver is working (again, i toasted the previous chip, ooops). If the vat would move, the mass would have no ef...

11 euro per square meter that's more like it, Did you try it already?

I'll first use sylgard, and have the build area move bit side to side (not as extreme as b9)
I have plans to incorporate passive tilting, Ill first have to see if it is needed.

yesterday a to mail man delivered a large packet.... Extruded alu parts! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/durksz/IMG_6522_zps4355569e.jpg Even though i had an exam the next day I couldn't resist putting stuff together http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/durksz/IMG_6528_zpse2b9910e.jpg htt...

I've been figuring out how to build the machine and how it should work for a while now. The long programming-time actualy gave me the time to do that, Learing programming and time to figure out how the printer should look, not a bad way to spend my time. I live in the Netherlands, There is an RS her...

I just started building my dlp printer. Edge Pointed my to the forum, We've been discussing our printer ideas for a while. The idea of creating a dlp printer was concieved aprox 1,5 years ago, when i got fed up with shapeways not being consistent in their print quality (mainly there fine ultra detai...
