Re: Projector characteristics

I also had another thought, dual projectors! Either will be twice the power (half the curing time), or set side by side to make it twice the size. Alignment is the tricky part, I did a quick search and came across this (not exactly for 3d printers but shows alignment): https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I'm leaning towards this method to reduce the height of the frame, but curious why most people mount theirs vertically (directly und...

best resin to start off with

LCD printer graphical display, Viki 2
