Replacement parts for the standard Solus?

Just wondering if there are still replacement parts for the original Solus, like film, aluminum vats, etc. A quick check of Junction 3D showed only Solus Pro parts in the shop.

Or is the real secret that we can use the Pro parts on the original Solus? ;-)

Hi Ron,
The original Solus is still listed for sale on the Reify site so expect parts are still available.

I need to update the website and remove the old Solus as we don't sell it anymore but we can get/make most parts for it still to keep the old ones running.

Hi Mark - long time no see!

I'd vote (if it counted) that you keep the old Solus on the website for historical purposes. It was the first commercial printer you put out and they are still out in the wild and in use. I would just put a "DISCONTINUED" notice/button/graphic on the page or something similar. :-)

Hope you are well Mark. Glad to hear that as I love my original format Solus. It is now a year older than my Asiga lived to :)

so does anyone have an aluminum vat for the solus. I need one. The plastic ones have small cracks and leak, really need one.

The Australian Solus reseller has them on his website.

If the plastic VAT is plexiglass then you can glue it. You dont use normal glue that wont work. You need special plexi glue or chloroform which is a strong solvent. Either of those 2 will not just glue but chemically melt the cracks shut. The plexi glue is cures with UV light. So that is easy for people with resin printers.
