Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Hi !

I assembled the printer but left me this piece and I do not know what it serves ?


What is utility of the hood !?

Where I can found the procedure for maintenance, cleaning petri, etc how to work safely, glove gaz mask or dust mask !?

Sorry for my poor english.

It's the alternative base plate - http://imgur.com/a/kYbnu
If you're using the projector carrier, don't worry unduly.

Correct, it is for people who are not using one of the recommended projectors. In that case they would use the little base and put the projector directly on the table top like the solus does.

Interesting, I didn't know the Solus had the projector free-standing.

Just to clarify, for Solus the projector sits directly on the table but there is a mount that connects the projector to the printer. It is just thinner than the projector feet.

Ok, thx, the hood is it for dust ?

The hood serves a few uses, it is amber/orange to block UV light from coming in and curing the resin from outside while printing. If there isn't much light where you are printing then this may not be necessary. Also if the PDMS layer were to fail you might end up with resin splashing, so the hood keeps the resin from making a mess outside the printer in case of print failure.

Ok, thx .

Hi !
I must be a bit idiot but I do not understand how the VProjector should be mounted, if someone coul post pictures on Acer P1500 with spacer and correct position please ? The lens must be placed completely under the frame of mirror I think !?
My setting :

All 3 spacers should be the same height. It is deceiving but the image exits the top of the projector lense, so the bottom of the lense is not used and can hang below the mirror holder.
