Topic: which project to start next?
should I build a resin printer next or an oversized solidoodle? Resin printers seem to be getting popular but I'd also like to do larger objects on a solidoodle. Which to do first? opinions?
Re: which project to start next?
Well, I've started fooling around with a core xy design (which may or may not ever actually work :-).
Re: which project to start next?
do the sla printer as i would like to do one of those and would love to have someone to ask for pointers
Re: which project to start next?
guess I'll accept that challenge

Re: which project to start next?
I have started building a SLA in my free time. I stopped once I saw the carbon3D video since all I have left to build is a tension vat. I cant decide if I should try and build a continuous SLA printer or a traditional one with a flex vat/tilt mechanism. It would be nice to have someone else on here posting results.
Theres plenty of info on here and also plenty about the type of vat needed for continuous printing.

Re: which project to start next?
I'm ordering parts and starting mine tonight. It'll be nice to have our own group on here
Re: which project to start next?
Update. All parts ordered. Going to start building the cabinet today and primer it
Re: which project to start next?
I just wanted to share this. I've been considering how i will build my sla printer i'm considering using the tantillus as a base for the case design. however most 3d printers i have seen show a orange or yellow case around it to help block uv from curing the resin prematurely. so i decided to experiment some on case design and this is an idea i came up with to make it a bit more decorative it will need work however please elt me know what you think i'm using art neaveao design elements and designing in tinker cad for now
Re: which project to start next?
This case isn't just to keep ambient UV away from the resin, an even more important purpose is to keep the UV from the projector inside the case and away from your eyes!

Re: which project to start next?
A question I have about the core xy design is : Is there stable firmware to run it since the math is different than repeat motors for the x and y.
Y was talking to the developer of the beagle bones K9 cnc cape the board is ready to go but no stable software to run it.
I noticed somewhere that was mention that marlin was dropping support for the core cnc version of the firmware.
what firmware do you plan to use .

I plan to use a smoothieboard and the smoothie firmware already has built in support for just about any printer configuration anyone has ever thought up (including core XY, delta, etc).

yes i do know about the eye protection for the people outside of the box but the question is what do you think has anyone made it a decorative piece?
Re: which project to start next?
I've built a solid door on my sla cabinet. I'm just going to put a window on it made out of the translucent red plexiglass for looks

Re: which project to start next?
i was gonna do either a red transparent backer or orange with a grey printed plastic for the door

Re: which project to start next?
I don't think it is. I believe you just dip the part down slightly then back up for the next layer.

Re: which project to start next?
good deal. This gave me an idea. I'm drawing up a design where you could have an sla/and filament feed printer. just with a few adjustments. mostly a new style of bed.

Re: which project to start next?
let me know how to convert STL to SVG in Slicer without printer settings as Iboxe Nano wont say
Solidoodle 2 with Deluxe kit cover & glass bed with heater. and 2nd board SD2 used not 3rd and alum platform not installed yet still wood. also need cooling fan installed to board. use Repetier Host couple vers. Slic3r also have all free ware STL programs
Re: which project to start next?
got the SLA topdown printer all asembled and hooked up. Just got to raise the bed and slide the vat of resin in when it gets here. I think it's going to work out well. Ready for testing next week. I built it larger than needed so I go bigger or smaller. Using Creation Workshop software to run it.
