Ye. I kinda hoped on some more prints from the developers thereselfs, Like a small update with 5 pictures of products they could achieve with the printer,
Thats kinda one the things why i didnt back them up, There is lack of prints that can tell use that its a great new printer or something that is almost the same as FDM,
Also i didnt want a second printer at the time :P don't have any room for it! but i might if the PRO version is a step upwards ^^

This guy should get his one printing when he gets the resin, Wich is soon hopefuly.
Kinda wondering when they will be selling em.
Yup, that is me. I got my resin yesterday, and I did the calibration print, which took a few stabs to get working, but did work. I then tried a d20, but it got stretched out in a funny way. Going to try again and I will report back with results, good or bad, tonight or tomorrow morning.
Stretched, squashed, skewed or wavy, we want to see pics, man. Especially if it's any of the above "in a funny way" :p
Actually, there's a "Print fails" thread in the Gallery, if you put it in there I'm sure it won't look too bad compared to the other stuff.
Resine was shipped a little after. First part of beta was to build the Peachy and improve it. Now, we will begin to work on print. We will have more videos to show! :)
Anuvin first backer print :
As reference, it should look like this :Quote:

Need a little more tuning/calibration! :)
There is the only print I have worth sharing. I had a calibration print that wasn't too good, and I was going to show it, but it fell off my desk. It was then consumed by the carpet and cannot be retrieved with current human technology.
And now, I scratched my laser lens (no one to blame but myself...) so I have to wait until the end of the week to print again! Sorry to those who wanted more updates, we will have to be satisfied with my pictures in the post above.
Well, to look on the bright side, even with it distorted and streched, you can still make out the numbers on the sides and you didn't end up with half a pound of wasted resin.
From the pictures, the ripples look bad, until you realize that the dice is so small that the ripples are on the same scale as the fibers in the paper towel it's sitting on. On a FFF printer that dice would be about 10 layers tall at most.
I guess it takes a week to ship the replacement lens?
Actually, what you are seeing there is some holes, not numbers. I deleted the numbers from my model. On the upside, the biggest hole is supposed to be there. I wanted a drain hole. The downside is that there are a few other holes, but I now know my laser was really out of focus, and my print speed was such that I am not surprised about the holes.
The ripples are fairly bad, but really, I just got it printing. And like you said, it's still comparable or better than a properly calibrated FFF. It shouldn't even print at all, given how badly I calibrated it.
Lens will be here by Saturday, so I hope to update this thread with lots of pictures come Sunday or Monday.
Goodluck on it, I am very curious what you will be able to get out of this printer as there are almost no photos of prints made with the peachy.Quote:

This d20 would be right at home on the gaming table at 20~ mm, but I was attempting to print one at 10mm. Based on that, it would seem that it is both: z is twice what it should be, and the XY is a few mm shy too.
Well Anuvin, looks like FFF isn't down and out yet!
I had problems processing this model (I think the walls are so thin and come so close together that the build gets confused when it overlaps itself?) I got around this but couldn't print with support material so the only attachment to the base was one filament at the bottom...but still quite impressive, here are the print outs in 10mm and 20mm both straight off the printer and after pulling off all the extra bits by hand only.

Wow! Those are great! I am surprised how good those look. You must have a well calibrated machine.
Thank you for printing those, Pete. It will be awesome to have some comparison shots as I get the Peachy dialed in. I will consider a comparable print on the Peachy to be a success. Thanks for setting the bar, now I can stare at it until my lens arrives.
Looks like I will be back in business by Friday, I will see if I can get some pictures up Friday night or Saturday.
Sure thing, once it's working, Peachy version will look better and glossy :D
They're OK....I've had more impressive prints, at the moment I seem to have software issues from installing multiple versions and fiddling myself so when I print small objects like this I get a lot of filaments hanging off where it prints a layer and then parks a few inches back and lets it cool before doing the next layer.
As for setting the bar...This week I got a sample print from an FSL3D pegasus, I also printed the same model on this FFF machine (FYI, very little calibration just a bed level and height then print, it's a 3D Touch which is basically the precursor to the 3D Systems Cube X [they've fixed a load of stuff and made it much easier to use for a consumer])
Unfortunately my phone camera makers these look OK, the reality is that they are truly exceptional (even the FFF), they have a spiral staircase and a double helix inside....

I really hope that the stock peachy can produce something that lies between the two (and seeing the later pictures from the updates I think it will)
In case you feel inclined to print the same in comparison, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:99028 , this is scaled down to 29mm tall.
Dayum. Looks really awesome! ^^
What he said. Those are seriously great. As much as I'd like to take a stab a printing that, I think I will hold off and let you try. I can't show the comparison you can. The d20 however, I will be trying as soon as possible.
Okay, here we go:

Just a calibration cube this time, and it's still too tall, but it's getting there. I am pretty happy with this print. I made my pinhole a bit larger, this is what I got. Recalibrated my x/y and they are very close to perfect. Just too tall, and a little off center, but that is probably my fault. I fiddled with the drip mid print, because I didn't think it was working. You can't even see it the first .5 cm while it prints, that's why I haven't bothered making any videos of printing. Next time I will see how smooth a print I can get, and see if I can't get my Z dialed in just right.
The sides are just about a perfect 10mm, just as I set for this print. It is 17 mm tall though. I think my drip sizes change due to the change in drip speed.
Thank you very much for these! Excited to see what you can achieve, keep 'em coming :)
Sure Morten, thanks for the feedback! One last one before bed, sorry for crappy cell phone pic.

10mm all directions, just like I wanted. Still has that funny top though. I'll see what I can do about that next.
Is that lighter blue on the bottom what fdm users would call a raft (support)? Meaning that the actual print is that solid blue?
Nope. The cube is supposed to be hollow, as it is. The top is too thick, but the outer dimensions are spot on.
amazing Anuvin!
Seems that the mods from Pete about the drip governor might fix this kind of bug.
Looks quiet nice as the layers go,
But after that it kinda looks quiet bad?
Is this normal or did something go wrong?
Or is this very small?
@DrLuigi: Anuvin mentions that the cube is 10mm on each side, so quite small.
And here is the thing that i have a problem with at the moment with the Peachy. I have yet to see a decent, reasonably sized print. I understand that the beta users are still learning to use the device, so hopefully they will come, but I find it interesting that the Peachy team has yet to deliver any larger prints. Who will be the first to print f.x. the Yoda bust on the Peachy ?
Well a Reprap will be able to make a better print than that, But i realy hope that its just something with calibration or something, that it isnt that nice yet,Quote:

Keep in mind that this printer is a beta version of the Peachy, and it is barely calibrated. I have never 3d printed anything before, I am a total novice. So bear these things in mind as I show more pictures of prints. I will try that Yoda when I get it a little more dialed in. I cannot wait to try a larger print. I am trying to get a small print to work before I do, as I think anyone would with any printer, especially one in as early dev as Peachy.
While I second kulfssons point about larger prints, I fully support you in doing things in their proper order, with calibration being the obvious starting point, Anuvin. Thanks for posting pics! All of this makes me wonder when my own model will arrive. I was kinda late in discovering the kickstarter and chipping in. Hey, @Ryland, is there any way one can cheat and get earlier access to a Peachy if there is a good enough reason? Like wanting it very badly? ;)
I agree with Morten, definitely get the printer firmly calibrated before going crazy with the possibilities.
As for when us non-testers will get that final version. The Kickstarter schedule has final printers in the hands of backers around September/October (depending on when they backed it, Early bird specials and such.) Those of us who got in late have a tenative October date, but I'd be very impressed if they get delivered before Christmas.
I'm pretty sure it will be ontrack as far as I know. No big flaw that would push the delivery right now !
Saying stuff like that is the surefire way to jinx it, man!:pQuote:

Is it just me that is checking like every few hours to see if there has been more progress?
:))))
It's not just you ;)
I'll third that :)
Sorry guys. I was falling asleep on myself last night before the print finished. Here's the latest:

Attempts at julia- heatwave. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:126567 Still getting there, obviously, but look at how close it is!
Still doesnt realy look like the Heatwave, But its already a bit better ;)
I must say again, the layers are pretty nice now ;)
You almost can't see it, In guess you wouldnt even see it in real as the print is quiet small i guess?
I May be wrong but i suspect its quite hard to photograph and show the detail, top couple of mm on photo1 look almost glass smooth,
Thanks for sharing Anuvin, its ace to see so much of the early part of Peachy's development
Looks like x and y are about half of the deflection required. The diameter of the neck looks a lot smaller than the Makerbot print.
I can certainly see features of the Heatwave vase in your print, though I really have to look for them. Regardless of the accuracy, I love how these (even the calibration cubes) have a kind of organic look to them. From your comments though, it sounds like the calibration process is more an art than a science right now.
Anuvin's print is getting narrower as Z increases and it should be getting wider as Z increases. It would look very like the original if it was calibrated that way. It implies to me that there is a problem with the z axis correction as the resin gets closer to the laser. X and Y deflections have to get larger as the resin gets closer to the laser. It's based on the cosine of the deflection angle. I wonder if Peachy has the correct z factor correction in the software???
