Build Your Own SLA/SLS

sofar i have been using Alcohol to clean the printed parts before post curing.

I've read on the pegasus SLA printer kickstarter page that you can also use :
Tripropylene Glycol Methyl Ether (TPM)


anyone else using this?

TPM is water soluable and works well, but not nice to use, its a bit like diesel, It may be hard to get in small quantities, the best stuff I have used it concentrated orange juice, "label cleaner", very expensive, I would stick with propanol and cure all tissue for disposal.

So as sla printers get more popular, cleaning and waste disposal will need sorting, maybe a miniature washer on some crowd sourcing site???.

Years ago we had a honey spinner to reclaim as much resin as possible, so maybe a washer with spin cycle for reclaim,then pump and spray heads for cleaning, or ultrasonic,then a spin cycle to dry, then uv post cure, all done with an arduino.

Doesn't the form1 have a tray for post-processing?

for example the miicraft has a post-cure section in the machine.

I think the Form1 printer does have a post-processing kit. If other printer kits have them, it should be advertised more, or be an additional purchasable add-on.
