After a whole bunch of failed prints with warping and distortions, failed supports, 2 rolls of paper towels, dozens of pairs of used nitril gloves, hours of disassembling and reassembling the vat after changing the vat sheet, cut up micro fiber towels, filtering alcohol, curing and throwing out gunk and toxic waste generated while cleaning the printers and work station... I have come to the realization that resin printing is not for me. Time to sell those printers and go back to FDM.  The speed of resin prints is great compared to FDM prints and I love the smoothness and level of detail of the parts in areas where there are no supports but it's impractical to print large, heavy parts as they tend to come loose and get warped and distorted. I do think it's possible to get the hang of it with some more experimentation and tuning, however working with these toxic materials is something that is way messier than I had hoped it would be and I'm not up for it. Furthermore it takes weeks for the printed parts to fully cure. Before that it will prevent silicone from curing. I hope SLS tech will become affordable soon so I can give that a try.

After months of waiting I finally managed to get my hands on an Elegoo Saturn resin printer. All the essential equipment has arrived. Time to test!  If I had enough money to get into this investment round for the Aureon Energy company I would. I have been following Wal Thornhil, the electric universe theory and the the safire project over the past few years and the way I see it, this is one of the most promising ways to bring humanity forward while at the same time bringing about a paradigm shift in peoples understanding of how the universe works.  Woot! Starship SN 15 can fly... and land! The future for human spaceflight looks bright today.  |
