Introductions... And a new beginning
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 1:29 am
Hello good Sirs,
My name is Rumplestillskin. I hail from a land without SLA Printers therefor i know very little on the subject. However having been introduced to this new and fantastic technology i am driven to master it and create such a machine myself. I am currently seeking information on LCD and Laser printers and my immediate questions are as follows.
Laser:
-I have acquired a taste for a certain raspberry pi and there is currently opensource "software", ill call it, named printipi. It was designed for FDM printing.
-My question is can i use that software to run a laser SLA using two steppers on the laser and one on the vat? If so what would the accuracy be? If not how do i controll the laser?
LCD:
-Almost totally lost on these
-So you have the LCD and controller running on software that allows you to display it as a monitor?
-If so is there a program you must use to make it function properly replacing the DLP? I understand its not projecting and the need for close proximity but not how the UV led light it tranfered in such a way to cure the resin.
Many a quest hath been discarded due to my loss of motivation ( as im sure you all know to well). I will work hard to fullfill this journey but fear i cannot do it alone. So... who will go with me!?
