Well there is some problems being caused by surface tension that cause certain shapes to come out better than others. Right now I have been raising and lowering the resin between each layer so that...

This is what it would be like to be eaten by a T-Rex

Also here is a T rex that I printed: http://3dprintboard.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4278&stc=1
It isn't yet perfect, but I think that prints are getting better!
Here is another picture of them hanging:

Here are three other birds:

Here are some birds that I printed and then my sisters and I painted for Christmas.

Wow all this enthusiasm is great! I'm glad I printed and shared it!
I can't believe the printer's capabilities either. And this is with obvious problems preventing even better prints (like the...
Thanks!
I like the name Jstraw by the way haha. I've been thinking about changing my username. Maybe I should go with it haha.
Great I'm glad to hear it got you excited!
I don't think it is the stepper or a rigidity problem, but I don't know what it is. Some layers the laser moves smooth, some it shakes. Sometimes half...
There has been a slowdown in terms of number of beta testers actively working. However there is a lot of progress being made.
This was my first attempt and I just made big changes with my printer...

Here is a small owl I printed. I had some trouble getting a good photo of it since it is clear, so in real life it looks better. For example you can clearly see the feet on the log in...
Wow yeah I can't imagine how much harder so many engineering tasks must have been prior to nice computer programs (and going back further even calculators for that matter). Also the internet is so...
I want to share some software that I stumbled on that is real interesting and easy to use: http://www.femm.info/wiki/HomePage
With it you can simulate magnetic fields and all sorts of other...
Ijmok: Yeah I think that changing the resin temperature or other adjustments are quite interesting, but I don't know if anyone has really tested it thoroughly. For me personally I am working on a...
Hey welcome to the forum!
The effect that I think you are describing where the laser is shining at an angle (so that the max volume would be a pyramid shape) is already corrected for in software....
Salt water is used which can have a density of just over 1.2g/ml (instead of 1 for pure water). Of course if some resin was even denser than saturated saltwater then something besides saltwater could...
I agree with what has been said. Find a real good tutorial. Also what worked for me is just trying to make simple things and then slowly getting more complex. Like anything practice helps.
Feign I think that you could have a 3D printing service be plan D. Though they are very expensive. If you really need something I could print it for you and ship it. I agree that the wire mesh could...
Congratulations Feign!!!
Here is a picture of the rook by a ruler (in inches) and a new Yoda. The Yoda is hole free!

I did this by blasting the Yoda with tons and tons of light....
Yeah I think that could be done. Also I think eventually using a cheaper microcontroller might be nice too. I should also point out that the double helix in this rook did print, but it somewhat...
Here is a rook that I just printed.

I programmed an Arduino Mega and used it instead of the sound card. I was having problems with my laser before so when I replaced it I...
Finally I kept the same settings as last time except made a big Yoda. This Yoda is about 65mm tall. I accidentally significantly overcured him though since I got the laser better focused when...
I have been printing several Yodas. All still have holes, but I have learned some from printing them.
The first one I printed that I showed before is about 22mm tall and is filled with holes....

Alright so these are prints I did yesterday. Both are very small, even smaller than what the Peachy team did. Today I spent time playing around with settings and experimenting with...
I tried to print a Yoda and Julia Vase, yet they have holes in them. I will post pictures tomorrow. Also I will be trying some other prints, so more you shall get!
BTW the prints should look...
Sorry I meant the same file (or at least a very similar file).
