Last post and few findings...

Hi Guys,

time to go to bed...

Few findings...

1) YES TEFLON is the solution... THANK YOU ROGER AND EVERYONE FOR THE SUGGESTIONS!!!
2) I am sure the resolution will improve a lot once I use the coated glass as the there was many microscopic bubbles between the Teflon film and bottom
3) the resin and dye works very well, there was no curing beyond the layer... no "shadow"\
4) there are many visible lines on Venus, the main reason was that I stopped the building process many times to see the result and brought the object outside the resin many times...
this may have changed a little bit the position when returning back to the bottom and create those lines... they are exactly where I stopped.... this won't happen in the continuous printing...

Very happy today with the results....

Cheers,

Junior

About the Project


I have been dreaming about having a 3D Printer at home for many years, but the ones with good quality are not affordable and the low costs just deliver poor quality. Sounds crazy but I decided to build a high resolution 3D Printer by myself at home (people actually said that I was crazy and this was impossible). The funny thing I never saw this type of machines in real life, and still haven’t seen one besides the one I built.

Now that I succeed building the first prototype, the target is to bring this low cost 3D Printer to every home, so we are developing the first affordable one with high resolution.

I hope you enjoy our blog, follow us and you can have this printer in your home soon.
