I just started building my dlp printer.
Edge Pointed my to the forum, We've been discussing our printer ideas for a while.
The idea of creating a dlp printer was concieved aprox 1,5 years ago, when i got fed up with shapeways not being consistent in their print quality (mainly there fine ultra detail 's support material left a lot of cleaning up)
Because i could not find any good software at the time, i designed my own. Taking a looooong time (with little experience in programming makes it hard). Now creation workshop is there, I gonna try to make my printer compatible with that software (possibly much better than my work).
Well finaly i have got around in making the printer it self:
the design:
The first components are made:
I've already invested in the famous Sylgard 184 (oops), maybe I need to invest in some FEP, would that be available in the Netherlands?

Re: 3D DLP printer in concept stage
Welcome sszer,
I to am building mine, the concept of a dlp printer is simple, but all the
bits and bobs take time,plus other projects, but its for pleasure right, so no rush.
I have been looking for FEP, rs do it, but expensive, not sure if you have rs where you are.
rs= radio spares.

Re: 3D DLP printer in concept stage
I've been figuring out how to build the machine and how it should work for a while now.
The long programming-time actualy gave me the time to do that, Learing programming and time to figure out how the printer should look, not a bad way to spend my time.
I live in the Netherlands,
There is an RS here, and has fep foil for a whopping 74euro for 300x200mm...

Re: 3D DLP printer in concept stage
yesterday a to mail man delivered a large packet.... Extruded alu parts!
Even though i had an exam the next day I couldn't resist putting stuff together
Build time sofar: 3 hrs (The exam took actualy longer to complete, approx 4,5 hrs)
Next week no exams anymore, so time to continue building
Stay tuned.

Re: 3D DLP printer in concept stage
Excellent progress! I just order a bunch of 80/20 alum as well. What are you going to use for a tilt mechanism or vat release?

Re: 3D DLP printer in concept stage
whoow that fep film is expensive on RS.
i got a sample piece of FEP film that looked very nice from kastilo.de
maybe it is something for you.. 11 Euro per squeare meter 0.05mm thickness..

Re: 3D DLP printer in concept stage
I'll first use sylgard, and have the build area move bit side to side (not as extreme as b9)
I have plans to incorporate passive tilting, Ill first have to see if it is needed.

Re: 3D DLP printer in concept stage
11 euro per square meter that's more like it, Did you try it already?
