SLA_High_Resolution_3D_Printer_in_Progress.zip (1260662Bytes)
So it all started in November of last year. I was getting frusterated after printing a whole series of human skulls out of PLA and them coming out as crap and each one taking six hours of work. Since I have gotten access to a makerspace and have been using the laser cutter and 3D printers there so I decided to take matters into my own hands.
This is my sla 3d printer as of 4/8/2017.
It has a stepper motor already inside of it. I have all the printed parts and laser cut everything. The stepper motor is the only piece of electronics inside it. I have all the parts except the mirror, projector, smooth rod, and a base to mount the projector. I also haven't designed the part that supports the mirror or designed the projector base.
Here are pictures of my progress.
Wish me good luck!!!
UPDATE: 6/29/2017
I will be redoing the entire z axis do to numerous problems. I will also be redoing the whole bottom of the printer do to the fact I no longer am intending on using a projector but galvos instead. Last but no least I will be designing my own galvos that use a laser.
