Projectors vs Resins

Postby Dave D » Mon Oct 17, 2016 4:38 pm

These may be stupid questions but I am curious

Would a higher end projector produce better prints with castable resins?

Are the projectors we are using now maxed out or over kill with the tech we have?

I understand that resin type and quality effects the print quality.

Again I’m not complaining about Solus print quality, just curious if this would be a way to increase model quality with a castable resin.

If you had a 4k DLP projector and were able to modify it to work with the Solus, then in theory, if the resin allowed, you would be able to print higher micron resolution in the XY. Again, if you could focus that close. Probably would require a lens modification.

But last time I checked 4k dlp projectors are still way too expensive.
