I checked with a dentist friend and he suggested a flowable composite such as this: http://www.dentalproductshopper.com/starflow for a suitable material. Sets under a bright blue light, can be handled under normal indoors lighting conditions without setting inappropriately. He droppered a spot onto a tray and set it in front of me in seconds - mechanical properties seem ideal. Hard as a tooth but not brittle, has a little give to it.
Dental-grade material is very expensive and comes in small quantities. We need to find something functionally equivalent that doesn't have the financial overhead of medical-grade manufacture.
hi, i m from argentina and i want to build a printer 3d like this. and do you can maybe send me the plans for build your printer. my e-mail is iejezkel_89@hotmail.com tanks
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.
