Thought this may be a good solution for ventilation for your Resin printers. As that is what i am using this for. I was getting tired of the noise from the cheaper inline fan i bought off amazon (My printer is in my office). So i designed this inline fan system that will fit 4x120mm CPU Fans. Thought i would try this before spending a bunch of money on a quieter fan.
Definitely more quiet. The air pressure is a little less be still enough to properly ventilate my Photon printer.
The Fans together would be somewhere around 200CFM, which is decent.

P.S. i did not put effort into printing fast or smooth, i wanted it quicker. Thus why there are plenty of defects in the print.

Found that Resinaway, while much better at cleaning, has a worse lingering smell than IPA. Decided to upgrade my post processing area to an enclosed space (I’ll work on removing supports and cleaning on the bottom shelf). Local buy and sell for the cabinet, some duct work and a separate in-line fan, and I now have a make shift fume hood. Even installed a 120V power outlet inside to not have to run cables out.

While I could put the printer inside. I already have sufficient ventilation on the printer and I wanted a ventilated storage area for the ultrasonic cleaner and other materials. If I made it large enough it could also be used as a workspace

As the LCD is a consumable. Has anyone tracked how many hours of printing or how many prints they have done before it craps out? Any average hours of use?
I know folks have said various months or calendar timespans, but I’m curious to actual usage time before failure.

Thought I would post a quality comparison. Reprinted my mini for pathfinder. The detail from resin is unparalleled. I used as fine of detail as I could on the FDM (0.25mm nozzle with 0.04mm layer height and a slooow speed), I also split the FDM model up to minimize supports. I feel that is the best quality I can get after months of testing. Whereas with my Photon it was sooo simple.

Some folks were asking to see this when it was done

This discussion popped up yesterday (idea of leaving resin in the Vat, instead of draining when not in use). Coincidentally, for my prints i have been doing since i got my printer early this week i have been weighing everything to figure some numbers out. So i thought it would be worth passing on my findings for others. This is by no means perfectly scientific, but i found some relatively consistent number:
I was roughly losing 8-10 grams of Resin every time i drain the Vat and clean it, regardless if it was 1 or 3 minatures. Some of that would be including the leftover resin on the prints that i clean (but i consider that negligible). So this equates to losing about $1.50CAD - $2.50CAD in waste. I was draining the Vat and cleaning in between each print just to see what i lost.
I was printing Miniatures and their weights varied between 2.6g and 4.7g. The supports would add 70%-100% weight to each print. FYI the weight S3D calculates for supportless mini was almost exactly accurate (maybe within 0.5% of actual weight)
My conclusions from my tests to improve cost efficiency were (in order):
1) Leave the resin in the Vat for as long as you can
2) Cut back on Support if possible (you could only save a couple grams here)
3) If you have to clean and drain, printing multiples together will cut your costs drastically. (this is obvious, but worth writing down)
