3d prints done on the updated printer
The photos show a 3d print made on my updated dlp based 3d printer. The lines on the print represent well defined 0.1 mm layers. The layers stand out because I printed the part at an angle to minimize large … Continue reading

3d printer rebuild
It started the way these things usually start, you decide to upgrade a part and then one thing leads to another which leads to another which leads to another… In this case I wanted to have a vat that was easier … Continue reading

3d printer rebuild, the z axis and build plate
One thing I have come to realize about this type of 3d printer is that what counts is that the build “face” (the layer that is being exposed), the vat floor and the projected layer image have a particular relationship … Continue reading

3d printer rebuild, the vat and tilt assembly

3d printing notes 1
Close Focusing A DLP Projector: I have noticed that sometimes people building dlp 3d printers have difficulty making their dlp projectors focus close enough to create a small image on the vat floor. One of the method I have seen … Continue reading

3d Printer Vat Refresh (lean mean grilling machine style)
My 3d printers Sylgard 184 vat floor coating had fogged and needed to be replaced. I believe it fogged due to having made some long base layer exposures. When I originally coated the vat floor I needed to let the … Continue reading

DLP 3d printer build details 0: preface to the build details
Building a 3d printer had been one of those things that had been rattling around in the back of my mind for a while before I actually decided to build one. I considered just adding a fdm print head to … Continue reading

Conestoga, The Movie
Not exactly Pacific Rim but it does show Conestoga’s front bumper obstacle routine and it moving from one waypoint goal to another. Video
It’s going to be all robomagellan for the next two weeks or so
I’m spending the time running up to the robomagellan competition pretty much going over conestoga’s python code (4500 lines about 3000 “good lines” the rest is junk code and comments) looking for any bugs or errors and generally cleaning thing … Continue reading
