my DLP build

Postby hp_ » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:42 am

Hi,

yesterday my dlp printer was hummping very nicely, churning out some nice objects.
no active peel system uses here.
software used: CW version rc5 -(all newer versions had a to great cpu load, which made it skip layers)

layer height - 0.1mm
resin subG+
projector used: Acer P1500

i'm still tweaking the over curing though

Nice print and the print in the video looks nice as well.
Any pics or specs of the printer itself, build log? ;) Looks like your using a belt or gear to move the Z? Hard to tell in your video since you have a cloth covering it up.

the cloth was there because i put into much resin in the vat :)

yep the printer is belt driven, works really well with the kind of vat design I'm using
largets object printed - 6xmx6cmx6cm - can't wait to print the ironman helmet you printed.

the resin container is now dimensioned on 15cmx10cm - the build plate is 9cmx8cm

didn't make a dedicated build log yet, but i did use your buildplate leveling :)

i'm using a nema17+planary gearbox to provide the torque needed.



cheers,
hp

that passive release looks like it's working very well. This is the pillow vat design, correct?

Very nice! For a while I thought about building a belt driven printer and was discouraged by the amount of force needed to release the part from the tray. It seems like your printer works smooth and effortlessly.
On a funny note, for a second I thought you had printed the egg as well! :-D

Please post more info about your belt drive. I'm designing a belt drive, and I would like to know what does, and does not work.

If you were to use only a stepper motor without a gear drive how much torque would you suggest for your 9cmx8cm build plate, and would your torque recommendation scale for a larger build plate?

I'm presently entertaining using two 400 ozf-in stepper motors on the Z-axis, and I would like to eliminate one of the motors. My build plate is 192mmx108mm. I would like to use all of the surface area, so there is going to be a high separation force.

Surface finish of your print looks great, I like the white color, post more pics! Do you think that the belt improves the surface finish?

Tks!

Here is my latest print. actually it was an print assignment.

color came out great, the STL file is undetailed, low triangle count :)

Resin: Mixed SubG+ and SubFlex
24 micron xy
50 micron z height
print duration: 30 minutes

Nice ear. ;)

BTW sent you a PM a few days ago, when you get a chance can you get back to me on that. :)
