SLA FDM: Ruby Shard

prusaprinters

This is a project of making a printer capable of doing both SLA and FDM printing, being able to switch mid print too.The benefits are many as these 2 methods make up for each others shortcomings well, FDM has poor quality while SLA is brittle and expensive, so you make a part with he outer wall in SLA, while supports and infill are in FDM. It also has the benefits of standard dual material of being able to use 2 colors at once.The machine also houses both parts in one, making cost to build in the median of buying an SLA and FDM machine separately.This is the first of 2 machines planned for this project because originally this would be the beta but I decided it was good enough to now be its own in a series.its a small machine, same footprint as the Orange 10 but print volume is 100x130x100 huge for that tiny size, once was considered to be the beta/proof of concept project but is now it's own project.File directions.Number means how many to print, and O (for optional) means its either not needed or can be bought insteadI also have included mockups of all the electronics so you can model it yourself or assemble a test.Tech needed2 9g servos4 nema 17s, one pancake typetitan extruderSKR 2 or similar boardBTT WiFi moduleRPI a+,3, or 4, or zero seriesRPi 5 inch displayBTT mini 12864 display/tft2412v 200w PSUMini J-Head hotend1 3010 12v fan1 3010 12v blower fan1 4010 12v fan1 6025 12v fan4 TMC 2209s2 8mm rods2 lm8uu linear bearings (24mm)2 20-22 tooth pullies (8mm bore)8 687 ball bearings2 608 ball bearings1 6002 ball bearing (Warning if you decide to buy this in place of printing the custom one you will need to use a Dremel or CNC to make the groves for the hotend mount fit.)250mm or more GT2 timing beltSilicon glue (for the dampening feet)4 bead springs150mm M6 bolt (Z rod)Currently there is no existing software to make this work beyond hand making the print files, or having the two parts work separately, but there is a discord for this project, and soon a Github so I can get something in the worksDiscord: https://discord.gg/tACu9ZarGUSpecs are:100mmx130mmx100mm print space1k display170mmx170mmx326mm footprintWiFi printingUPDATE: Welcome to the 0.49 Alpha update! I am updating the post as I will be moving from TinkerCad to OnShape. Upon moving I will be doing a mass overhaul of the machine, upping build quality, size, and hopefully simplicity. As it is, it looks like it could print with some tweaks, but currently no FW or OctoPrint plugin work has been done to make it work.The active changes is swapping to ball bearings from friction and printed screws. Belts and pulleys in place of gears. Stability improvements, extruder now can mount inside frame correctly.I am on a minor hiatus where I will just be assembling and messing with the current version while I learn OnShape and Fusion360, but once done prepare to see a very new project. 0.5 Beta will be the published project once in OnShapeCurrent goals:Standard 1515 t-slot support12864 supportRevo micro hotend supporthexagon hotend support3d printable and non printable options (Such as printing the rods or buying optionally)Larger Print SpaceFinalizing the swap from gears to belts
