Hyper Aus Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) The biggest problem with LCD Resin 3d printers is the larger you make the print size, the less detailed the part can be. That is until they start offering small 4k DLP screens at a price people can afford. edit: Meant to say LCD over DLP. DLP can happen already if you have the 4k projector.

Hyper Aus Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I read up on it after editing my post. While the 4k panel will make a nice difference in X and Y resolution, Z will always be the issue. Z is limited to the quality of the Z motion and the ability of resin to work at those finer levels.

Fastdax Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 A 4mm scale John Betjeman Excellent! Is it a free STL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysarefun Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Excellent! Is it a free STL? Yes its a freebie from scantheworld.com. This is a project intended to provide a free library of 3D scans of the worlds major artworks and cultural icons. Its the perfect go-to site if you want to populate your layout with 3D printed models of nude Greek blokes fighting each other or chicks without arms..

monkeysarefun Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Maybe the joy at the thought of the tears of all the Collingwood supporters made me reckless but for some reason I thought I'd relevel the printer plate. I have no idea why, maybe I thought it would make it even better or something. Top tip - if its working ok, don't play around with it because I had 2 days of no prints sticking to the build plate. The difficulty I had getting it all good again makes me think that maybe the fact I got it right the first time was good luck. But its working again now and I'm back to printing random things just to enjoy the detail possible!

Knuckles Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 They look too good. Not rich enough to safely buy one yet! Maybe by the time I decide to part company with half a grand there will be a new model out. Sods law...you watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyneux Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Seen that printed before, its very impressive. Must be popular... I was just handling a print of the same model at a supplier's office last week. Nice when work and hobbies collide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckles Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Thought it'd be worth linking this thread to my latest post as I have shown some of my tests with the same printer at last. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/106165-scc-sparkshot-custom-creations-furness-d1-cambrian-sgc-complete/page-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
