Yeah, 100%, the resin load / unload looks great, and again, a big win for the space.

Re the extra ££, wow, thats generous! If you’re sure, edit your pledge and I’ll match.

Even then we’d still be a bit short of the price minus the vat. Anyone else want to help out?

Edit: **I will bake cookies for all backers. **

@davidN if we got it anything else we need?

Ie. Wash and cure we have is fine?

The build plate wouldn’t go directly in the wash station as it does with the one we have (its marginally bigger), but thats ok, prints just come off the build plate before going into the wash station.

We might want some of the high speed resin to try out, but I think thats about it. It also comes with a few spare sheets for the bottom of the vat.

A wash station with the build plate size is another ~£300: https://store.anycubic.com/products/anycubic-wash-and-cure-max-machine

What I really think this money could go towards is hazardous chemical disposal from the space - for the used bottles, IPA all that crap from the resin printers once in a while.

But we are good with what we have for now yea?

The one we have will do the job comfortably with minimal restrictions, imho.

OK, Obviously there is excitement and interest around this!

Directors can certainly match the rest…

I think so. It’s a nice to have but perfectly usable without a new wash station.

@potatoman, I thought you were saying £80 + your original £25 pledge, so I’ve gone £105. Even if you lower to the same I think we have enough without the VAT?

Either way is fine…

I feel like I turned away for 10 min after checking a bump to the thread and suddenly there is an order inbound!

hey all, i was wondering if the new printer is setup at the space? and if so, does it require a separate induction or walkthrough with a 3dtech?

This is on order to be shipped in June but yes it probably will need additional walkthrough for the auto resin system

Hello everyone. I visited the space yesterday and was very excited to see a new box hanging around in 3d printing… it was the new resin printer! Sam and I unboxed it today:

It came with a bottle of “High Speed” resin. It’s a bit thinner than the normal suff, but as it says, it prints faster! (but I’ve seen at least one review that say it comes at a cost of print quality).

We tried one of the models that came with the machine… 37 minute print time for this lovely item… we’re not sure what it is, but you can find it by the window in arch 1 for further inspection… Just don’t look at the bottom where the supports were.

I’d like to add a few more notes on usage and create a tool page before general use, so hopefully just another day. For anyone super keen, here is the wiki / manual:
