Couldn't put this down unfinished :L

Moai resin printer with actual laser and galvos instead of LCD or DLP! Took 5 hours to assemble and generated 60 GB of raw video footage. That has  already been documented extensively tho.

What hasn't are some mods, like a higher power laser, different vat materials like  FEP for exotic resins (ceramic?) an f-theta lens for uniform focus in a larger area ...

I hope I can make a Formlabs-killer for half the price in the end.

First print = immediate success! Hight calibration thingies https://imgur.com/a/hp02ocb

I am feeling the same about fast internet :) Back in my days we had to hack into the telephone line and transmit data by strange hissing sounds. Kids who grow up with MB internet on their smartphones will never know the struggle
