We are all so used to the various rerap 3D printer our there when it comes to FFF printing. The RepRap movement has helped to drop prices substantially for desktop FFF machines. One Russian man is trying t do sort of the same thing for SLA/Resin based printers. He has created a machine he calls the RAR 3D printer. Many of the parts of 3D printer, and the mechanics of the system use cd-rom and dvd-rom drives. More details on this machine can be found here: http://3dprint.com/18601/rar-sla-3d-printer/

Below are some specs:
  • Printer Size (L x W x H): 290 mm X 190 mm X 200 mm
  • Build Envelope (L x W x H): 80 mm x 80 mm x 80 mm
  • Minimum Layer-height: 10 Microns (0.01 mm)
