[sudo-discuss] Re: Resin 3D printing?

Hi sudoers. I was wondering if anyone might be interested in having a 3D resin printing setup at sudo room? I'm thinking one of those ~$200 resin printers, a little wash basin and a UV exposure box. We can probably make the wash basin and UV box ourselves and maybe some of us can contribute a few bucks and split the cost of the printer? I know resin tends to stink and release questionable VOCs into the air, however: I have acquired a tabletop ductless fume hood. It functions by sucking the fumes through a carbon filter. I'd be happy to keep it at sudo room for the resin printing setup. It probably needs a new carbon filter but I got some carbon filter material and plan to simply re-stuff the existing filter cartridge. The hood is 35.5" wide with a 24" tall work area. It looks like this but without the bottom tray: http://acintergroup.com/media/catalog/product/cache/2/image/9df78eab33525d0… I'm thinking we can put it on the white southernmost table behind the laser cutter? Maybe a front-opening printer like this one would be appropriate? https://www.anycubic.com/products/photon-mono-se-lcd-3d-printer?variant=358… If this happens I'd like to keep access to the printer and a small supply box locked off unless folks have been checked out on usage of the printer since it's easy to permanently destroy these by not cleaning off the resin and letting the sun's UV harden it. Folks from CCL might also be interested since resin is generally autoclavable and more chemical resistant than what can be done with the melty-type printers. Anyone interested enough to help buy such a thing? -- marc/juul _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list -- sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org More options at https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
