OLO Smartphone 3D printer

[Thantos]

While we are on the subject, Thantos do you know if it is UV or Infra Red that the DLP?
... curiosity got my mind working on this and thought that the top part is a simple stepper motor, and that is the only mechanics. If I got a hold of the software and made a few mods, then all I would need is an old lcd tv on its back a blacked out fish tank, a large stepper motor and BAM giant OLO!

The best results use UV light to cure the resin. The wavelength of the light spectrum is shorter so the light reacts better hitting more molecules of the resin as it passes through and curing better. SLA uses UV usually.
But most DLP uses "near UV" spectrum visible light. Makes life easier than a UV DLP projector!
OLO uses "daylight resin" which is bang in the visible spectrum, (longer wavelength) so the resin cures slower than UV reactive resin. You could use white light from a TV or any other source. ... thats a really good ideal actually lol. 42" print bed?

@Lucasdp + Iven:
No probs i can talk about 3d printing all day, most of my family are friends are sick of it. So good to have people who will listen

Haha, i grew up with pokemon at school when it was first released 1st generation lol

@GK: Actually very true... may be better to back Baylor's 42" fishtankTV printer when that launches in 6 months

I really do like the fishtank idea. Premade terrain for an entire table in 1 print.

I'm interested in 3d printing and would love to learn more about it. The caveat is the more I learn about stuff I like the more I get into it and want to do it, that's why I only pay attention to it peripherally. Where I work there is a 3d printer for models they provide to customers and it taunts me daily. Oh the struggles.

There was a paper released months ago that described exactly that, a step motor that would draw the stuff out of a liquid tank, and the resin hardened by light.

There are TV's with 2 metres wide format. New part for your car, anybody?

I just hope for the guy that he has a good contract with a chinese factory otherwise he will take so long to dispatch that you can get a bigger 3d printer in the electronics discounter by the time he delivers.

Threads like this have me wondering how long it will be before a 3D printing sub-forum will be needed. I imagine the time arrives when figures are posted by members. Looking forward to it!
