Getting back into @kicad.org to refine the wiring inside Shimmy. It’s not some FPGA board, but it saves time during manufacturing #pcb #circuits #hardware

Shipping has been an unexpected time-suck. Shimmy is designed to be robust, but freight carriers truly try to trash your product. ULine crates only go so far - so we’ve had to buttress it to reduce any damage from stacking during shipment.

It’s been a while since we last posted, in part to manage all the orders have. We’re reaching a lovely point where we can build Sun-assemblies and once everything is wired together, it just works smoothly right from the get-go #manufacturing #3dprinting

Dear 3D Printing Fanatics - which Trade shows should we go to? Any recommendations, or any missing (and why?)

Is anyone still using STLs? Shimmy will still support them but for Multi-Material 3D Printing, processing them is painful. AMF is better but what other formats have become big hits for you?

Very much like a hotdog with the ketchup/mustard colors (standing in for Magenta and Yellow). None of the vat Z heights or XY offsets were calibrated, but it didn’t fail either!
Just wanting in terms of color management! That’s for another day #color #3dprinting

Am 3D Printing with ketchup and mustard. Cannot provide advice on taste or texture - but I can tell you that yes, that is two of a four vat resin printer we built ;)

What lies beneath a four vat 3D printer … hat tip to the temperature sensor and stepper wiring in their support roles

A small sample of the exciting stuff we have in the pipeline! If all goes well we can share everything we can do with our “Quad” resin vat 3D printer ;) #3dprinting #innovation #fourmorevats

(2/2) I have high hopes to 5x printing speed using this air knife with the higher pressure/volume blower. A bit annoyed we stuck to the earlier design but it was COTS versus custom made (or riskier). But that’s what Research and Development is all about! #R&D #3dprinting #prototyping #innovation

(1/2) Drying prints very quickly requires a great quantity of air under pressure. We started with air fans and found them lacking, moving onto air knives that were inexpensive. Plastic (e.g. ABS) cracked over time, so we got these pricey stainless steel parts and then aluminum slot-pipe designs.

Dear Resin Printer users, How long does your screen last? The UV lamps destroy the LCD over time, but how many hours do you find you get? Thanks!

Dear Hivemind - can you share with us any data on the electrical properties (dk/df/etc) of 3D Printed ceramics in their green state? We have some decent ranges, but we’re curious to find more! #ceramics #pcb #ee #electronics

The big dirty secret about resin printing and mass manufacturing is support removals. With an extra vat and a dissolvable resin, support structures can be detached via chemically, rather than mechanically. Repeatable results and 100% yield, with no labor required! #3dprinting #resin #polymers

Hi Bluesky! Check out our first Moonshot in 3D Printing: Multi-material Stereolithography. We've been finding great applications in printing high-resolution PCBs (using conductive resins) and precision net components (using dissolvable resins) .... check out maass3d.com for more info! #3dprinting
