Large SLA (liquid resin tray) laser 3D printer. You can print multiple objects at once at the same speed as printing one object. Much faster than a Formlabs Form 1 or 2. Made in Germany, high quality, large prints, big price tag ($7500 delivered). Seems like it wold answer a lot of needs for a small production shop trying to get their delivery timeframe and per unit printing cost down (especially compared to service bureaus like Sculpteo).

My Internet is real slow today or I'd post a link. I think it's just www.Solidator.com


One issue with an SLA is you will also need an additional UV curing oven. Either purchased or built. The reason is if you do not print solid fill then any cavities in your model will be filled with liquid uncured resin.

So you have to put finished prints in a chamber that is flooded with UV light. This is called a UV oven and it cures the remaining liquid resin after several hours.

So add that in to your cost as well....

if it makes you feel any better - me and my printer didn't get along too well with the latest version of RH either. Kept getting communication timeout errors. hmm

reverted back to the version I was using before (v1.0.6) and no more problems

now, what is a "Solidator"?

And I don't get along with the new version of RH. And this is the best damn bunch of guys between here and the Horse Head Nebula!

Shut down both the PC and printer.. unplug the USB The restart the PC, then the printer, plug in the USB and wait for the chime that tells you the printer is seen. Once the chime sounds then open RH and click connect. Before you click on anything make sure it says ready or idle and does not show commands waiting.

The status box says "30 commands waiting", which includes my commands to turn on the heaters. So what's clogging up the commands?

It is connected now.

Try to Connect, RH says COMx Does Not Exist. 0
