    'the dimensional accuracy is non-existing'

    That's surprising, how far out are we talking about here? Tinkered a bit with an FDM unit, and the accuracy is excellent, and it's a very cheap model. I'd have expected the accuracy of DLP to be greater, only one axis to move, and a light bounced off of the chip to render the layer. Are the optics the limitation in these cheaper units.

    My experience is that it is a lottery Andy...you have to be very lucky to get a good one, else it’s a nightmare.......resin is expensive as you mentioned, and toxic as hell......all other consumables are expensive too and or have a very short lifetime..... the dimensional accuracy is non-existing......the cleaning process is very messy and afterwards your left with an amount of toxic wash residues.......and then you need a UV curing device. While printing you need to have a good ventilation/extraction.
    When I work with it I wear so much PPE that you will think that I work at a toxic waste dump or something.

    Bud .....when everting lines up and works out….those things give you amazing details.

    It's all about what you get for the money you spent, don't expect dimensional accuracy and long lifetime with these low budget printers. If you want all that you have to spent 4k.
    I didn’t so I’m not complaining, I knew what I was getting into, just want to share my experience regarding what you will get for your money and what to look out for.

    Grtz,
    Bart

    LOL. Sorry, Tina, that your were subjected to this nasty, thoughtless, antagonistic, trolling perpetrated by your kit-assembling, robot-loving husband.

    Everything was done by the machine this time Scott....I only assembled the parts, made them fit.

    The sail will be cast with the holes......louvers will be after fitted.....hatches and doors you must do yourself.

    My idea behind it is that you can chose if you want certain pieces in open or in closed position......radar, periscopes,.....

    Concentrating on the sail now. Test-fitting the SOKS and making the louvres fit.

    When I say high detail, I actually mean HIGH DETAIL.
    One of the SOKS censors (yes I went over the top, yes I’m crazy)
    Pictures were taken with the macro setting of the camera, dimensions are in mm.

    All credits to "the machine"
