Topic: World’s first pressure controlled 3D printer launches on Kickstarter

Thought this group may find this news of interest.

The world’s first pressure controlled 3D printer (Elemental) is a modular 3D printer that solves three main problems with personal 3D printer technology: ease of use, expense and reliability.

The Kickstarter campaign launched last week and is about bringing Elemental from prototype to production. See how Elemental is changing 3D printing at kickstarter.com

You may want to post a direct link to the product.

If you build it they will come. Then they will make fun of it, tell you it's not worth doing and go home and try to copy you.
If a picture is worth a thousand words then being there is worth a thousand pictures.

Thanks wire10ga for posting the link - much appreciated.

This revolutionary 3D printer fills the gap between low-end hobbyist machines with limited resolution and high-end printers that cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Elemental's key points to note are:

•    Simple design that is attractive and functional
•    Multiple printing modes with resin only or resin suspension
•    Quiet when printing and simple to use
•    Minimal calibration required
•    Patent pending technology
•    Reduced dependency on support structures

System specification include:

•    Very large build area for SLA - up to 200mm x 200mm x 200mm (7.87in x 7.87in x 7.87in)
•    Z control accurate to 1 micron
•    24-bit XY control resolution (variable through software)
•    Variable output 405nm laser
•    Pressure control of layer height
•    Stand-alone SD-card printing
•    Bluetooth functionality

You can get more information on the printer at the kickstarted link.

Re: World’s first pressure controlled 3D printer launches on Kickstarter

thats a very viable liquid 3D printer design with less mess than others. this type 3D printer is also the type used to create Nano art only visible with super microscopes. if cost is 3x lower than similar types it can compete with the extruder 3D printer market also.

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
