that's what i'm doing
I'm comfortable with the idea * of building one
be aware though uv resin is about as expensive as good quality rtv silicone
it's not cheap like fdm
How expensive are we talking about
$20 a liter?
try $60-$100
Holy fuck
for decent quality resin
But the resolution on dem parts
i'm sure there's some horrible shit resin that doesnt work right and takes too long to cure for $20/L
but you don't want that for sla/dlp printer
that's more for molding parts
Yup, i'm guessing that's the difference
between the regular resin that's 20$ a litre
Curing time
there's also the 3d printing markup
like how virgin abs pellets costs next to nothing but abs filament for 3d printer can cost $30/kg for a decent brand
Cant you combat that with an insanely bright UV projection solution though?
probably
I know you can get 50W UV leds
it may make me less hesitant to go for dlp
and i can rig an adequate cooling system
i plan to sell miniatures to local tabletop people anyway and that'll offset the cost of even expensive resin pretty quick, but
i need some uv resin to make ciem shells
That's my use
o shit
also artisan keycaps
also will sell 3d print service
that reminds me
how much do you think i could sell a stone keycap for
I have no fucking idea
i have the tools to make it happen
i just know people on geekhack spend too much money on this shit
Which is obviously exploitable
i really need to get a dual extruder fdm machine tbh
FDM is really slow compared to SLA tho
it is, but i very much want to be able to do multimaterial prints
i wanna print TPU feet in place on electronics enclosure and such
or tpu living hinges on nylon box
