Hi guys,
This is a picture showing a proposed configuration for a top-down/bottom-up hybrid. The idea is to build a machine that can be switched between the two formats in a few movements.
The idea behind this setup is to bring the best of both worlds together.
The projector is going to be mounted in a swiveling arm that will switch from vertical for the top down, to horizontal with the aid of first surface mirrors for the bottom up configuration.
The resin vat and bottom platform can be easily removed and a shallower vat can be attached for bottom-up printing.
I'll keep you posted.

Aren't your Z axis arms going to be in the way of your projected image for a top down? Or will those be removed for that setup?
