DLP/LASER 3D Printer Build - Top Down

[Wabbe]

Well... Here's my work in progress so far. Top down DLP portion is working like a charm. Looking forward to moving forward on the Lasershark portion soon.

I decided to go with a quick release to allow the printer to go from a DLP to Galvo/Laser configuration. Takes less then 5 minutes to switch.

Also created a desk/table off the main printer body for the laptop which has come in handy Next on the list is enclosing it and adding a hinged door on the front.

Bill,
Where did you get the adjustable clamp/tube hardware?

Looks like camera (DSLR) rig parts to me.

And that's a lovely build

Correct on the DSLR rig parts for the adjustable clamp/tube hardware.

Purchased it from here: http://www.ginirigs.net

What would be the benefit of going for laser-version vs. DLP?
(except for the bulky size of the projector)
