Not sure what 4 doors you are refusing to see, but I think your basic understanding of how a print is formed may be wrong.


Yep, you are missing something. Yes, saline solutions are considered...

A good cheap alternative would be to get some aluminum window screen at your local hardware store. easy to form into a base, with only a need to weight it to keep the prints down. some cheap fishing...

I'm thinking of custom building my reservoir and build tank from fiberglass. Might try to design them to be a single unit with a peristaltic pump driven drip and recovery setup. I'll probably use a...

The only problem with "washing" the resin over the print is it may lead to inaccurate layer height. I think we'll want to avoid excessive ripples or waves at the surface ( where the printing actually...

Bubbles??? How hot do you think we need to get? I would expect that we could stay reasonably below boiling temps. I am a Yank so I'm thinking in Fahrenheit, but I'll try to do metric conversions as...

No, /dev/null is correct from what I have been reading. Surface tension doesn't seem to be affected by anything other than additive(surfactants). Heat will lower the viscosity(how easily a fluid...

Sorry about the cross posting. It may not help reduce surface tension, but I think that a thinner resin that can flow easier should be able to fill in faster and more uniformly. this should make for...

Rylan, could you try an experiment for me? Could you try heating the tank of salt water and the build tank, say by using an aquarium heater? My thought is that by heating the resin to around 100 to...

I've used the SolarRez ZeroVOC resin in fiberglass work. I think it would be a better Resin in most cases...

the drip sensor for the z axis works because the salt water is conductive. so a pump with a drip sensor inline before it would be able to run until it stops reading conductivity(indicating that...

Has there been any thought of using a heated tank/heated water to help lower viscosity and thus surface tension of the resin?

I really don't think there would be much heat loss there. We are using nylon tubing normally, which has a low thermal conductivity and fairly fast flow rates. I do agree that finding a way to heat...

Has there been any thought given to supporting anything other than Blender? Or am I going to need to learn a new interface? I plan On buying a kit just as soon as possible to get set up on the side...

So elsewhere I was reading about the possible problems with surface tension in the resin and how heating it may be a way to lower the viscosity and hence the surface tension. How about simply adding...
