We plan to launch a campaign at Indiegogo to seek people's help in covering some of the upfront tooling costs within next couple of week. Of course there will be additional perks that will be available in our campaign.
Many of you asked for additional details on our printer, here are some of the key features of MiiCraft™.
MiiCraft™ 3D Printer Features:
- One of the smallest All-In-One 3D Printer kit in the market
- Combines 3D Printer, Post Curing Device and Resin Cartridge into "ONE" singe unit
- Automatic Resin Supply System
- Sensors will detect resin level in the reaction tank and pump resin into the reaction tank
- Ability to withdraw resin from reaction tank back into resin cartridge for ideal storage
- Teflon based Peeling System
- Lower peeling force during build process and increase success rate when printing models
- Sturdy and Robust mechanical design
- Ensures an improved and consistent performance
- Open Source firmware and software

Congratulations Miicraft!!
ReplyDeleteHi, is it possible to reach 20-30 micron for xy resolution?
ReplyDeleteThank you
Best Regards
Maurizio
Current xy resolution can only support 56 micron.
Deleteplease correct me, is the footprint is the max build size?
ReplyDeleteYes, the Footprint: 43mm x 27mm x 180mm is the max. build size in the first generation 3D printer.
Deletewhat is the possibities to increase this size? is it because the projector you are using has limited power or the limitation is with this fabrication method itself.
ReplyDeletereason is simple.. your current built size has very limited option for the real world.
Very nice project!
ReplyDeleteBut 43mm x 27mm is a heavy limitation...
So, it says software is open source, where does one get this source?
ReplyDelete@asok and macroalici,
ReplyDeleteThe small printing size is for proving the capability to make X/Y with 56 microns. Larger printing area would make the ppi lower. The current mechanical structure is fixed, but of course, we can consider to increase the printing area in the next 3D printer.
@Bill M.,
ReplyDeleteThe software is still under testing. The initial version will be released for beta testing to the people who purchase our 3D printers. After the beta testing, the software will be opened.
