Mirror cleaning

I'm finding the rocket blower isn't shifting the dust from the mirror adequately; I assume that a soft lens brush is about the only thing that's safe to use on the mirror? Just been reading up on the Solus printer by way of comparison; they say they have a quartz optical path. If that means what I t...

Re: Completed my build

Good stuff. Nice to see another UK-based owner, makes it easier to compare notes on sourcing.

Spot-A HT resin

Out of interest - is anyone else trying to use Spot-A HT (B9 formulation) with the LittleRP? It seems relatively good for bulkier shapes, the cal block prints 4 of 5 of the fine rods OK (the thinnest is a washout) but as soon as I try to print fine structures at 25u, they don't seem to have the stre...

Re: UK / European Resin suppliers

FunToDo in Holland
Spot-A in Spain

Bound to be others, but those are the 2 I've got ATM. iMakr in London offer Makerjuice (SF & G+) but they aren't LittleRP formulation.

Re: FTD (FunToDo) resins on LittleRP?

I'd assumed it was a related factor to the definition of the print - I'm not seeing that level of stair-step, but equally I'm not getting such sharp results, so the stair-stepping may just be blurred on my prints.

Re: FTD (FunToDo) resins on LittleRP?

Your results with no added pigment are impressive - I confess I've stopped using the FTD resin for now to try and sort out settings with the Spot-A resin. Getting there, but the smallest of the posts currently eludes me. On the holes filling in on the base - is that just a factor of the longer expos...

Re: Petri Dishes in Ultrasonic cleaner

I've put Petri dishes through the ultrasonic - but only after the PDMS has reached the end of its useful life. Cleaned them with some IPA first, then used my usual jewellery cleaner; the PDMS was a doddle to remove and the remaining resin residues wiped off.

Re: help where to plug adaptor

IIRC, the current draw for the motor drive circuit is more than can be supplied from the Arduino board.

Re: LittleRP in italy

Of course, if you stick to English there's far more chance of non-Italian speakers being able to offer assistance.
