Great job guys! 👏 keep up the good work.

I’ve been thinking of this and here it is! Totally awesome.

This is amazing!! Thank you so much for making this project open source. I wish the build volume was a little bigger, but that sounds like my problem to figure out now!!!! Thank you again, I'm gonna share this around, might need to email you soon. I wish you the best of luck, you deserve it!

We got higher resolution and bigger format as the elegoo jupiter that is in the same ball park as the prometheus! If you are not understand this the prometheus is not a project for you :)

Looks like I have something to do after I build my Vorons. This is exciting.

This looks very promising

This is amazing I want to make one!

I actually was able to get a broken Phrozen transform for $80 at an estate sale. To buy the replacement LCD is $899 which is absurd since the printer is $999 brand new! But I think using this project file I might be able to get this thing up and running!! Thanks!!! :D

@@thecontrappostoshop Nah man, go big or go home 🙂 if time comes that i need a new msla printer i will check this project out! Btw if you don't mind me asking. Is the 3d printed bed holder a placeholder for a full metal one? Or do you see 0 flex when the bed hits the resin?

@thecontrappostoshop

Жыл бұрын

The "arm" of the printer is made in aluminum and 3D printed parts. The bed holder is in fact 3D printed but behing with that thickness and in PLA it makes very rigid and stiff parts. The only "flex" i could see with an indicator and quite some force is at the back of the arm (where the two aluminum parts meet)… but honnestly with the "wait" period before exposing the resin it come back to normal and didnt have any issue with that what so ever ! … but btw maybe we will see full metal kit one day :) … everything is can be download and can be order in aluminum at place like PCBWAY

Oh, gottverdammt I have to build this one now too.

awesome

I have a Photon Mono X 4K. Motherboards are hard to come by (just replaced one), so I know its lifespan is limited. Would love to try my hand at a conversion using rhe existing frame and mechanical components to the Prometheus

I have a use for all that oven glass i saved.

It would be nice If you could have a few build plate sizes other thatn the full size. then if you want to print something small, less cleanup, and less wasted resin.

@thecontrappostoshop

I dont think it’s the build plate that creates the majority of the mess and waste. Anyway that’s why we put it open source so everyone can do anything they want :) … changing the size of the build plate is probably the easiest part :)

$562 For the displays is a little rich yet. Probably going to wait for more competition. I will need a 15.4” to 17” display sizes to hit the market and then i can 1pc a design i have. If it were possible to use two display’s aide by side together then id probably try it despite the price.

It’s all right haha ! We just took an other direction:) 👍 … as far as i know it’s obviously not as performant as a parallel one but it gives very nice results ! Considering the price we sell them vs the parallel one i think it’s a nice bargain. With all the prints we did and others have done i can say it’s a nice array … we are looking for a cheap mod or upgrade to make it parallel :)

Thanks!👍🏻It is ze Fraunch to ze rescue! Visiting shenzhen now (White male) and one shop here already screwed up a 3D print, so was like...wait...I am visiting china...and a resin printer is basically a CNC with a laser and a riser bed for another axis so I found this!

i own a bambluab p1s, i also want to get me a resin printer... yesterday i had a thought about building a fdm sla combo maschine...wouldnt it be very easy to add a sla buildplate under the bed of a bambulab p1s, and on the bottom a vat with screen.. basically just the housing and leadscrew needs to be extended... lol i would love to work with somebody on this project :D

I think someone on kickstarter did something like that or SLA/laser engraver combo…. Sounds like a lot of trouble honestly hahaha ! Because other than the frame the printers will share they will need their own hardware

This is an awesome and long overdue project. I had an old anycubic photon and broke the control LCD so I couldn't start any prints. Unlike an open source FDM machine there was no option to print from a PC so that would be a welcome feature. Another thought: could the design work using an DLP projector rather than an LCD? They are fairly common to find on ebay with missing or burned out bulbs - that would be replaced with a UV source in this case.

Not every LCD is the same. It may works but you will need to have a hdmi driver board for it and honnestly the pain to work with an RGB screen is not worth it. If ever 13.6 inch is not in your budget you can look for something like 10.1 inch mono. ** make sure to have a HDMI driver for it and you will need to change the pi config file. Honnestly 13.6 inch is worth the money !
