Finally seeing some progress there...
After a long period waiting for the Cubify Cube 3 I finally cancelled it and went in the stereophotolithography solution (SLA) from mUVe.
I am still a bit experimenting but not far away from the optimized settings. I have started to build some test parts beginning from the pedals of the heli.
Still not 100% to scale but close, you can see the base of the pedals below. All CAD parts are made from scratch using photos like the one below. I don't show you yet the pedals themselves as the "AGUSTA BELL" extrusion on them is written mirrored due to a false setting in the printing setup.
The part shown here is ~3.5cm long, the top holes ~1.4mm in diameter and the lateral ones ~1.8mm in diameter. The thickness of each layer of resin is 100μm and I will test the 50μm in a few days. The quality of the printout is quite acceptable and there is room for improvement as the setup (both mechanics and optics) are not fully optimized yet (getting there fast).
I hope that now things will move faster for this project.
Cheers,
