Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Completely overlooked that...

Thanks mandrea

I've given up on my Proniks 3D printer even after installing a new LCD nothing happens. I was only able to make one or tweo successful prints before everything went Haywire!
So I'm going to build a brand new 3D printer from scratch and since I've already bought most of the replacement parts for this machine I will be using them.

Now I heard of a company that has made a single board that replaces the ramp and video board, do any of you know the company name and email? If not I will continue my search to find it.

On my next build I plan on using the 5.5 screen with adapter and a 9.7 screen when I need to do larger prints, the two LCD screens will be interchangeable the smaller one will use adapter.
UV light will be done by multiple LED's and total output will be between 80-100 watts. I expect cure times of 2-3 seconds

I also plan on incorporating a UV curing station so it will be a complete unit.

Now since this is still in the design stage I would appreciate any suggestions as to electronics, and the mechanical aspects of this build. The footprint will be about the size of a laser printer, so it will still be a desktop. I will start building the base in a couple of days and it will be made of hard wood with miter joints, the top will be milled Alum. as will the skeleton of the unit.

So Folks tell me what you think it should have, and lets see what I can put together.

I own a LittleRP and considering to grab a YHD-101/Proniks KLD-LCD1260 from that „famous“ James on AliExpress.

Question: Is there room for the Raspberry Pi3 board (—> nanodlp) to go into the bottom of the printer? Or should one better get an external case and stick it against the back of the printer, because of heat issues and port accessibility?

Also, is it possible to grab the 5V for the Raspberry from the printers USB port? Alternatively: from the printer’s internal power supply unit?

@LacoDeLoco: Is the wiring (HDMI + Power) between the Raspberry and the printer all internal? Mind to post a picture of how the Raspberry sits in the enclosure and is connected? I have a Raspberry Pi 3 left over, so I'll have to install it myself.

I'm in talks with the guys behind the Proniks KLD-LCD1260 SLA printer regarding distributorship and might be able to influence a bit on where the journey goes with that printer, as well with its upcoming, bigger 8.9" brother.

So if you own this printer already or have had the chance to review it, I'd appreciate if you could share your thoughts. I've started a separate thread for that: .

First results with my 2K 5.5 printer. The object is hollow with a wall thickness of about 60 microns and was printed over polyethylene instead FEP. Step 0.05mm.
and video

Now I can say that this printer is very good, a project for IR LED Track clips done with it :
