    3d printed Peristaltic Pump

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLvDvG6U_Xw

    This could be for future versions of the Peachy and would allow for more consistent drip.

    Good stuff. Maybe use more aluminum. I know the salt water high voltage capacitor, aluminum foil wrapped around a plastic bottle, is 1800pF....

    The slower the drip the smaller the drops...within reason. A constant drip speed is needed or calibration height vs speed in software. Height of the reservoir changes based on water level as well. A...

    I thought it uses a 405 nm laser. Glass doesn't block much until you get to the shorter wavelengths. 405 would pass completely through. So, a glass lens would work fine, even down to about 325 nm or...

    Anuvin, sorry, all this talk of pinholes in foil led me to believe that the laser wasn't able to focus without it. You are right that there is a need to refocus with layer height. Although, it seems...

    I don't like the pinhole idea because it limits the light that passes through, substantially. And 20 mW is barely enough for decent speed prints. I prefer the lens approach. This one on ebay has a...

    Any prints from the Beta team?

    It has been a little while and an unboxing video was posted on April 2nd. I'm sure someone has printed something in the last few weeks. I would love to see some pics.

    I would say that the Peachy has the potential for huge resolution. At 16 bit res., that is about 4.3 Gigapixels. Printing a 4 inch square object would yield about 1.5 micron resolution. Using 40...

    As I posted on the comments on Youtube, the Peachy printer just achieved a 4 micron layer height. Even the Form1 at $3300 only prints as low as 25 micron for layer height. And this 4 micron layer...

    I too, am blown away. I can't wait to see the next level of prints.

    I see why you went the way of the circuit, although I did get a cheap usb sound card from China that is dc coupled for $1.29 and...

    I agree. Although, it will mostly be a problem the taller and wider a print gets. You can float the peachy at a given height above the surface and the laser can be focused to that height, roughly. I...

    I agree with 3Dmonkey. I would like to add a link in the list for Tinkercad. I have used Wings3D, Blender, Sketchup, Milkshape, 3D Studio Max, etc. For quick and easy, or just importing and modifying...

    I was thinking that it certainly has the resolution for it. Just look at the Z axis. If you had a print area of 200x200 mm and 20 drops of water is equal to 1 ml, then that is 0.00125 mm accuracy....

    My initial thoughts were that I could use a syringe after a print to suck up leftover resin and put it back in the resin container. When I get close to the resin/water boundary layer, use the syringe...

    I love this concept, but it might be easier than first thought:

    1) slicing can already be done with an existing program, just load the Gcode version of the file instead of the STL.
    2) no need to...

    It is my understanding that the vessel size and shape can be put into blender so the Z height is always properly calculated.
