I’ve spoken out against a resin printer at MakeICT before because of the relative complexity of having and using one. So, I am absolutely not pushing it on MakeICT.
The problem seems to be in the projector. It has worked sporadically, and at one time was thought to be the connector because unplugging it and plugging it back in would occasionally result in it working for a short time. However, while I don’t think it’s proprietary, it doesn’t seem to come up in my searches for it. It’s been awhile since I looked, so it could be more common now, or more likely, it could be unobtainium now. IIRC, it uses HDMI, and I know it has an HDMI output that my friend used to troubleshoot it. (That HDMI could be the same one used by the internal projector.)
I don’t know if this is a worthwhile thought, but would it be something that we might consider fixing and raffling off? Or do you think there would be enough interest? It has the potential to be a nice machine, but as it is, has limitations. It has a nice build area, but because it is not open source can be a pain to work with. For that reason, it might not garner much interest. The current resolution is not great, either. When it was introduced, it was a nice machine, but the Saturn has better resolution and support now, as do other similar machines. That is why I don’t think I would feel bad about converting it to a better design or making it into a sinker EDM. Anyway, somebody give me a name and number for my friend to contact or for me to coordinate with.
