Thanks for the add. I'm a 3D designer and have been selling on Shapeways for the past 3, 3 1/2, years. I'm sure a lot of you know about the mess that's been going on there for a while now. So now I'm looking into purchasing a printer to make and sell some of my more popular models myself to avoid SWs' hassles. I'm looking at either the Photon, the upcoming Prusa SL1 (the Prusa kit is basically the most I can spend on a printer and I'd get the cleaning station no matter which way I go), or maybe the "Bean" printer. I'm not sure which, though, or if I should even get into it in the first place.
I'm a college student and don't have too too much time except on the weekends. From my understanding, a DLP/SLA printer would require quite a bit more time and work than just a regular FDM printer would. I'm also unsure about how well a desktop DLP printer would lend itself to small scale, but relatively frequent, production of multiple models at once. I know that no matter what, these printers wouldn't be able to really match the quality of Shapeways' MJM printers but if Shapeways goes any further downhill after Jan 1, this might be my best option.
Also, a question about the Photon and resins. What is the highest resolution layer height that the Photon can reasonably print at? Shapeways offers detail plastics with a layer height of 16 and 25 microns. Can the Photon match the smaller height with reasonable accuracy? Also, I know that the resins tend to be somewhat toxic with a strong odor. Are there any high detail resins out there that are either non-toxic or won't emit such strong odors and vapors such that I wouldn't need a ventilation system? Space is somewhat tight for me so the less room and peripherals needed, the better.
Thanks.
