FEP vat challenge
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2015 10:43 am
I decided to look into building a flex bottom vat because I was tired of redoing the sylgard/qsil vat coatings like everybody else. However, the prices I saw for FEP on a per square foot basis were pretty outrageous. So I did what I usually do, I lurked around the usual places until I found a deal...
I recently scored a (very) considerable amount of type A (general purpose) 5 mil (0.005 Inch/0.127 mm) transparent FEP and I am willing to part with some of it for the cost of postage and an envelope.
This is the deal, the first 10 registered users of buildyourownsla.com (see note below) who contact me (HTL) via private message with their name and a mailing address will get 2 - 9" X 12" (228mm x 304mm) sheets of FEP sent to them for the cost of the postage and envelope (about $5.00 US, see the notes below). What I would like for you to do is to use the FEP to create a FEP based vat or rigs, fixtures or tooling associated with FEP vats and submit photos and info to this forum on or before April 15 2015. At that time the people who submitted designs will get a chance to vote on whose design is best. Each designer will get 2 votes 1 vote will be for themselves (I believe you should think your design is best regardless) and 1 vote will be for your second best choice. The design that wins will get 10 - 9" X 12" (228mm x 304mm) sheets of FEP.
I know the reward is not that big but this is about coming up with vat designs and features that everyone can use.
Notes:
You have to have registered as a member of buildyourownsla.com on or before 1/1/2015.

Members who have built FEP vats and have shown them or provided information about their vats in one of the forums should send me their forum user name, a link to the post and a mailing address in a private message, you will be sent the FEP, if you want it, for the cost of the postage and envelope even if the first 10 slot are taken.
This offer closes when the first 10 slots are taken.
Anyone trying to game this offer to get FEP will be ignored and declared to be a villainous rapscallion.
This is the same material I used to make my flexvat.
