LumiPocket - Mini DLP 3D Printer

[Eddie]

3D printers come in all different sizes, but the LumiPocket may just be the smallest yet. It is a DLP printer that is capable of printing up to 3 different objects at once using 3 different colors/materials. It does this by using 3 separate VATs but only one DLP projector. It is currently on Indiegogo, and they are looking to raise $50,000. The price without a projector starts at $379. Read more at: http://3dprint.com/17868/lumipocket-dlp-3d-printer/

Heh, good luck with printing "household furniture" with it. On a more serious note -- that setup looks like aligning the projector and keeping it aligned during printing will be a complete pain?

Hi,
our 3d printer is not designed to print household furniture, but objects with a maximum size of 10cm diamter, 10cm tall. It can be used to print household items, miniatures, jewelry (with our castable resins), prints for medical or dental research.
A stable tripod is everything you need for printing; a tripod that can hold a camera still when shooting can do the same with a projector. Our software helps with the initial calibration.

Lumi Industries is back, and hitting the crowdfunding platform again but this time with one of the first Kickstarter campaigns out of Italy, as the market has just opened up there giving Italians a chance to use the popular forum. With the LumiPocket LT, users have the compact size and benefit of using an SLA resin 3D printer just like with its predecessor, the LumiPocket, but the Lumi team has also added a laser marker and engraver, as well as a PCB etcher.
