Does anyone know what type of lazer this printer will use? There will be some customs issues in some countries depending on the type of lazer. I don't believe they have announced anything yet, have they?

Should not have any customs issue since it will be a low powered laser (20mW) and embeded into the solution (not a laser pointer).
There's no official specs for now.
Great! Thanks for letting me know :)

Also its a 405 nm laser
the focus is not that far and start to disperse as in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=T-NJuQpj3EE
do you add more focus len if say to built a boat?
Just a wild idea, But wouldnt it be possible to change focus, So the laser can aim more material in less time in bigger prints?Quote:

If you are out of focus, you'll loose precision and will have to spend more time to "heat" the section, but since it's UV, maybe this could work.
But without a Microcontroler, you wont be able to ajust the focus.
The kit will come with a laser that you can change the focus of by hand ( rotate the laser)
The plan is to be able to tell blender what the Dot size/ focus of your laser is at the top and bottom of your print ( it wont change much over the course of most prints)
This will help blender move the laser at a speed that cures the resin correctly.
In the pro we aim to change the focus dynamically during the print using an arduino!

Will there be tutorials and/or upgrade kits available for those that have the standard printer?Quote:
