SLA printers

2026-06-01T10:59:32Z

LabCrow:

These machines use [[SLA]] as their 3D printing technology: Instead of pushing plastic through a hot nozzle, it uses a vat of liquid photopolymer [[:Category:Resins|resin]] that cures (hardens) when exposed to a specific wavelength of light (typically 405nm but sometimes 385nm).

While we do not have such a printer at the Space (as of 2026-5), there are several members who have one at home.

=== How do they work? ===
The printer's build plate starts by submerging into the liquid resin tank, leaving only a microscopic gap between the plate and the transparent film at the bottom of the vat. A light source (either a precision laser or a high-resolution UV light screen (often called MSLA)) projects the shape of the layer from underneath the tank. This light instantly solidifies the liquid resin, bonding it to the build plate (and the film). The plate then lifts up slightly to let fresh liquid flow underneath, lowers back down, and repeats the process for the next layer.

The major difference is that only one axis is moved resulting in additional higher accuracy and that the whole layer is printed at the same time resulting in different print times depending on the part orientation.

=== Slicers for SLA Printing ===
Just like FDM, SLA printers need a slicer to translate 3D models into layers. However, SLA slicers handle different tasks, focusing heavily on generating specific types of support structures, hollowing out solid models to save resin, and adding drain holes so liquid doesn't get trapped inside (e.g. sparse infill is not possible).

* '''[https://www.chitubox.com/en/index Chitubox]:''' The standard and most common slicer for entry-to-mid-level resin printers. It offers excellent automatic support generation and powerful hollowing tools.
* '''[https://mango3d.io/ Lychee Slicer]:''' A highly popular alternative known for its smart automation, and advanced support features (at least in the pro version).
* '''[https://www.prusa3d.com/de/p/prusaslicer/ PrusaSlicer]:''' While primarily used for FDM, it has robust built-in SLA slicing capabilities, especially if an open-source workflow is preferred.

Router bits are special cutters used with handheld [[routers]] or in a [[Router Table|router table]] to work on [[wood]].

Many types are '''NOT compatible with a [[CNC Router|CNC router]]''' which uses [[End Mills|end mills]] by default!

== Common Types == 
* "straight" ''(Nutfräser)''
** caution: often can't plunge straight into the workpiece (no blade across the center) - enter from the side or, if you have to, in a shallow slope
** alternative: straight [[End Mills|end mills]]
* "guided" ''(Fräser mit Anlaufkugellager)''
** have a bearing that prevents taking too much off the side of a workpiece
** caution: make sure the bearing is well-oiled and rotates freely at all times; use a starting pin when operating this kind of bit on the [[Router Table|router table]] without a fence; [http://www.holzwerken.net/Wissen/Tipps-Tricks/Tischlern/Vorsicht-Schlagloch-auch-beim-Fraesen avoid routing across holes] to reduce the chance of sudden kickback!
** for an excellent finish, you may want to try this trick instead of risking the dangers of climb cutting ''(Gleichlauffräsen)'': carefully wrap a thin strip of adhesive tape around the bearing, making sure it is completely flat and does not interfere with any movement. After pre-routing your edges with this tiny spacer, remove the tape and take off the final fraction of a millimeter!
* "dovetail"
* "V-groove"

== Wear/Maintenance ==
Router bits can be quite expensive and wear out ''(verschleißen)'' over time. Misuse, e.g. running them on the [[CNC Router|CNC router]] with the wrong parameters, will unnecessarily speed this up and the person responsible should take care of replacements!

=== Cutters ===
The hardened metal cutters need to be sharp for the bit to work properly - dull bits can overheat and ruin your day...

''To be researched: where/how can they be sharpened?''

=== Bearings ===
The ball bearings on those bits that have them should rotate freely - check this before every use and apply a few drops of a suitable [[lubricant]] if necessary!

== Available at the Space ==
We currently share a simple set of pretty standard, but low quality router bits ('''8 mm''' shaft) as well as a few Bosch sets. There is also a wooden backup box in the storage room for the first round of replacements, but we can not guarantee its completeness at any point. Therefore, you should consider getting your own bits and/or donating some if you need a particular kind!

==Idea==
There are still some tools that don't yet have their right place in the bike area such as this [[Headset Press Tool]]. So I made a simple mounting system that can handle the load because the screws go through the whole hook.

==Creation Steps / Process==
I designed a hook that has 35mm space to the wall and contains a through hole of 5.5mm for the M5 wood screw. It was printed using PETG for longevity and without supports (also: 2 walls, 15% gyroid infill) before being mounted to the wooden wall with about 35 mm between them.

==Learnings==
Sometimes it's better and easier to not overcomplicate things by optimizing the 3D-printed part but to rely on standard pars such as screws.

Since 08.04.26 I am a member of the co-making space. Right now I'm studying molecular biology in the 2nd semester at the university of Heidelberg and have been doing smaller and sometimes bigger projects for years. Solving problems is one of the main driving forces for me in most areas.

Since I started 3D printing in 2020 and got my first printer in 2022, the number of my projects increased and kept growing since. Now I want to cross fields and try to learn more about other materials and manufacturing methods. If I don't work on my own projects at home or in the space, I also try to find (small) things I can solve/fix at the space.

=== Tutor ===
I like to learn and also to share my knowledge with others so I'm glad to be tutor for the following machines:

* [[3D Printers|3D printers]]

=== Tools I am allowed to use ===

* [[3D Printers]]
* [[Laser Cutter]]
* [[Reciprocating Saw]]
* [[Jigsaws]]
* [[Drill Press]]
* [[Cordless Drills]]
* [[Chop Saw]]
* [[Handheld Circular Saws]]
* [[Handheld Sanders]]
* [[Handheld Routers]]

== Projects ==
These are my recent projects but some smaller models may only be found at my Maker World page. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in any of them or have connected/enhancing ideas.

==== Quick Projects ====
These projects are smaller and can be done in one or two sessions.

** [ ] Extraction at the spindle
** [ x ] Door handle
** [ ] exaust shield
** [ ] Vacuum adapter
** [ ] bellow tube cover for the rails for protection against dust and fingers
*** ([x] = done; details will be in the documentation after finishing the renovation)

* To control my heater through ESP smart home I'm building a motorized add on without invasive alteration
* I try to help [[Lukas]] with [[Project:FDM Injection Molds]]

== Ideas ==
This is a list of potential (quick) projects for the future; some more concrete than others:

* Skadis (peg board) models for the sewing station
* Skadis mount for Bosch Power Pack 500
* sunglasses with additional shades (magnetic)
* (automatic) mechanical closer for the fridge

Waiting Lists

2026-05-23T08:49:09Z

LabCrow: /* Handheld Router Introduction */

An overview of the waiting lists for our [[introductions]] that take more time than the [[tutors]] can usually invest spontaneously.

''If you want to "wait" for a vehicle spot, see [[Vehicle Workspaces|vehicle workspaces]].''

<big>'''How to Use'''</big> Please '''link''' your [[Special:MyPage|user page]] at the bottom of each list you're interested in after you've filled it with enough information to contact you and/or activated "Allow other users to email me" in your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]!

DO: link yourself for the introductions you need for your project(s)

DO NOT: link yourself for all available introductions just because you might need it at some point in the future - chances are you'll forget something important by the time you actually use the machine!

If a list is full enough and/or you have been waiting for a while, please reach out to the tool's tutors and kindly ask for a date - maybe they've just been too busy, but it could also be that they missed the list filling up and would appreciate the reminder.

==Idea==
As posted in [https://github.com/comakingspace/do-something/issues/449 #449], one of the dials on the [[Grill]] broke and needs a replacement.

==Creation Steps / Process==
The replication process was pretty straight forward since the connecting rod has a simple profile and no special requirements for the knob.

To help visualize the rotation of the knob when in use, I printed it with black and white PETG.

==Learnings==
THis was a pretty smple project but I didn't know about the order a grill dial rotates so the writing on it wasn't right the first time.

==Idea==
After receiving the introduction for the [[Reciprocating Saw]] and [[Jigsaws]] I noticed the Issue ([https://github.com/comakingspace/do-something/issues/448 #448]) that the [[Makita DJV181]] jigsaw doesn't have a fitting vacuum adapter for the [[Festool CTM26 E AC (1)]].

==Creation Steps / Process==
Because of the unique shape of the adapter on the jigsaw I decided to use a two part/material solution: To have a strong connection I used a flexible TPU part that is then inserted into a rigid PLA part that also contains the shape for the festool adapter. This way they can both be printed without supports or very tight tolerances since there are elastic parts on both sides that can compensate for small deviations.

The TPU part is left on the tool and the PLA part is removed (twist & pull if necessary) and stored inside the tool box when not in use.
[[File:Makita djv181 dust extraction assembly.jpg|center|thumb]]

==Learnings==
When enclosed by PLA or other rigid material, TPU doesn't show much deformation through compression so the thickness of material that buffers the tolerance of all parts is smaller than I first expected.

==Idea==
The new hard soldering tool in the [[Hot Metal Area]] doesn't have a place or holder for the torch.

==Creation Steps / Process==
Since the tip of the torch is to hot for any printable material this side is supported by a long screw connected to the wall. The side of the handle is hold by a small holder made with PETG to withstand residual warmth that is slit on two screws similar to other wall mounted objects you may have seen.
[[File:Hard soldering torch holder printed.jpg|center|thumb]]

==Learnings==
Similar to the projects I did in parallel ([[Project:Press Tool for Headset Cups Holder]] and [[Project:Metal Lathe Thread Gears Organizer]]), this one showed me another possibility of metal hardware supporting printed models. Also this mounting system was a first for me: printing it without supports is the better choice since the material is very hard to remove from inside otherwise.

Project:Drink and Ball Holder for Table Kicker

|software=
|cost=
}}
==Idea==
To protect the Kicker table in the homeroom from spilled drinks a separate holder was needed. The Idea was to combine this model with a tray or store module for multiple of the game balls. (As proposed in [https://github.com/comakingspace/do-something/issues/378 #378])

==Creation Steps / Process==
Important was the maximum diameter (in this case the beer cans) of the beverages found in the space to ensure that the holder will be used as intended. Also the minimal height for smaller cans and the minimal diameter was recorded so that nothing can get stuck in it or tilt too much.

Using Onshape I designed a one part model that includes 2 drink holders and a slide for up to 4 balls that can be printed without the need for supports. Since it will hang in the homeroom for hopefully some time it's better for it to be quite robust:

I reinforced it around the screw holes preventing layer splitting when fastening and connected the three parts in a second dimension reducing possible levers. As material I choose PETG to have a slight advantage over PLA regarding the longevity (more than that shouldn't be necessary).

After drilling I embedded dowels to fasten the model to the wall with 4 M4 wood screws.

==Learnings==

* To create the smooth slide for the balls I had to improve my understanding of lofts regarding giving them enough information to control the resulting shape better.
* I also learned that sometimes it is better to create fillets without the fillet command but rather using tangent circles and negative extrudes.
* Since I haven't really used an impact drill before, this was also something new for me.

Project:CNC Mill dust extraction

2026-05-21T08:04:10Z

LabCrow: release date

{{ProjectInfoBox|project title=CNC mill extraction|status=done|initiator=[[LabCrow]]|materials=[[PLA]]
[[PETG]]|tools=[[3D Printers]]
[[Cordless Drills]]|software=[[Onshape]]|image=CNC mill extraction.png|date=08.05.2026}}

== Idea ==
Effective chip and dust extraction is vital for CNC milling aluminium because it prevents the "recutting" of debris, which causes poor surface finishes and can lead to tool failure. Aluminium is a gummy material that tends to fuse to the cutting bit when heat builds up; by extracting the chips immediately, heat can be carried away from the workpiece rather than trapping it. Beyond protecting the tool, a dedicated extraction system preserves the machine's mechanical integrity by keeping abrasive, conductive particles away from precision linear rails and sensitive electronics. Ultimately, maintaining a clear cutting path ensures dimensional accuracy and creates a significantly safer workspace by eliminating the respiratory risks of airborne metallic dust and the physical hazards of sharp, scattered shards since the machine is not enclosed.

Since the CNC mill in the [[Hot Metal Area|metal room]] doesn't have such an extraction system yet, this project should fix this.

==Creation Steps / Process==
I chose a similar approach to the extraction I did for the BlackBox CNC mill that is being renovated: A two part module that binds together using 10x40x3 mm neodymium magnets and encloses the machining area with brushes (that are plugged in and secured with glue) and connects to an adapter for the vacuum. This time it's the [[Festool CTM26 E AC (1)|Festool]] adapter. Also since this machine is supplied with ethanol based coolant, there needs to be a hole for the Loc-Line hose (or similar). Another difference is that the module is not mounted to a horizontal metal plate but needs to be directly attached to the spindle. Because of this the main part is clamped around the spindle using M5 screws.

To avoid the relatively heavy hose of the vacuum to burden the adapter (especially when still being made from PLA), the hose is mounted from above through a second mechanism that allows it to follow the movements of the CNC more easily. This was achieved by embedding a M6 flat head screw with a very lose fit into a clamp while printing. To mount it to the wooden wall, the screw sandwiches the board with two nuts.

To test the design and since the longevity is not yet tested, most of it was printed in PLA but the main part was made using PETG since it exerts less creep than PLA which should help maintain the clamping force.

== Learnings ==
Since I already did a similar project there wasn't much I learned. What I wasn't that used to is to design based on a blueprint as I did for the vacuum adapter. Connected with this I ''learned'' that the height of the teeth of the adapter is not that important since mine were ~11mm instead of 8mm but still fit.

==Idea==
There are still some tools that don't yet have their right place in the bike area such as this [[Headset Press Tool]]. So I made a simple mounting system that can handle the load because the screws go through the whole hook.

==Creation Steps / Process==
I designed a hook that has 35mm space to the wall and contains a through hole of 5.5mm for the M5 wood screw. It was printed using PETG for longevity and without supports (also: 2 walls, 15% gyroid infill) before being mounted to the wooden wall with about 35 mm between them.

==Learnings==
Sometimes it's better and easier to not overcomplicate things by optimizing the 3D-printed part but to rely on standard pars such as screws.

}}
==Idea==
As I received my introduction for the [[Laser Cutter]] I was supposed to also make something to show that I understood the process. Since I didn't want to waste material and since I don't like dust collectors I wanted to do something useful. In search for something fitting I noticed the Box used when paying for the machine usage and that the information in written on old tape and decided to give this a more fitting look.
[[File:Laser Cutter Tax Box old.png|center|thumb|''old version'']]

==Creation Steps / Process==
Using [[Inkscape]] I rewrote the information and added two holes beneath it for screws to fasten the sign to the wooden box with small screws.

The first cut wasn't successful as the power produced through the settings from the [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|wiki]] (in this case 3mm PMMA) was too little. The second try was a bit overkill but the sign made it out without too much scarring.

==Learnings==
Since this was my first time using [[Inkscape]] or the [[Laser Cutter]], I naturally learned a lot on how the machine and the workflow work and about the basics. On thing I learned from the outcome of this project is that even if it's not easy, masking the to be engraved area beforehand is worthwhile and to not blindly trust the recommended setting but to try with a sacrificial piece.

==Idea==
When cutting threads with the [[Metal Lathes|Metal Lathe]] special gears are needed for the right transmission. These didn't have a dedicated place or container before and were just lying around the [[Hot Metal Area]].

==Creation Steps / Process==
I designed a simple organizer to hold the gears and their related parts. Since the gears have the same thickness, I designed equal slots that can all fit the largest gear. For now only 8 out of the 10 slots are used but that may change in the future.[[File:Metal lathe threat organizer.png|center|thumb]]

Since the metal parts amount to some weight I didn't want to hang it by just a few screws as this would lead to a permanent strain of the material. Therefore the organizer is placed on top a metal angle that carries most of the weight. The material I chose was then PLA because it doesn't have to hold much load.
[[File:Metal lathe thread gear organizer support.png|center|thumb]]
==Learnings==
Similar to the projects I did in parallel ([[Project:Press Tool for Headset Cups Holder]] and [[Project:Hard Soldering Torch Holder]]), this one showed me another possibility of metal hardware supporting printed models.

==Idea==
The new hard soldering tool in the [[Hot Metal Area]] doesn't have a place or holder for the torch.

==Creation Steps / Process==
Since the tip of the torch is to hot for any printable material this side is supported by a long screw connected to the wall. The side of the handle is hold by a small holder made with PETG to withstand residual warmth that is slit on two screws similar to other wall mounted objects you may have seen.
[[File:Hard soldering torch holder printed.jpg|center|thumb]]

==Learnings==
Similar to the projects I did in parallel ([[Project:Press Tool for Headset Cups Holder]] and [[Project:Metal Lathe Thread Gears Organizer]]), this one showed me another possibility of metal hardware supporting printed models. Also this mounting system was a first for me: printing it without supports is the better choice since the material is very hard to remove from inside otherwise.

==Idea==
The dust extraction of the [[Chop Saw]] was missing an adapter at multiple points. My first opinion was that it would be easier to fix this with off the self sleeve. This mostly worked but the connection directly with the chop saw was too loose. A ring around the sleeve that sits tight enough and is connected to the harder part of the chop saw would fix this.

==Creation Steps / Process==
A simple ring with a slightly smaller inner diameter compared to the sleeve and two knobs that engage the chop saw was printed with PLA since it doesn't need to hold any mechanical load.

==Idea==
After receiving the introduction for the [[Reciprocating Saw]] and [[Jigsaws]] I noticed that the Makita DJV181 jigsaw doesn't have a fitting vacuum adapter for the [[Festool CTM26 E AC (1)]].

==Creation Steps / Process==
Because of the unique shape of the adapter on the jigsaw I decided to use a two part/material solution: To have a strong connection I used a flexible TPU part that is then inserted into a rigid PLA part that also contains the shape for the festool adapter. This way they can both be printed without supports or very tight tolerances since there are elastic parts on both sides that can compensate for small deviations.

The TPU part is left on the tool and the PLA part is removed and stored inside the tool box when not in use.
[[File:Makita djv181 dust extraction assembly.jpg|center|thumb]]

==Learnings==
When enclosed by PLA or other rigid material, TPU doesn't show much deformation through compression so the thickness of material that buffers the tolerance of all parts is smaller than I first expected.

When cutting threads with the [[Metal Lathes|Metal Lathe]] special gears are needed for the right transmission. These didn't have a dedicated place or container before and were just lying around the [[Hot Metal Area]].

==Creation Steps / Process==
I designed a simple organizer to hold the gears and their related parts. Since the gears have the same thickness, I designed equal slots that can all fit the largest gear. For now only 8 out of the 10 slots are used but that may change in the future.

Since the metal parts amount to some weight I didn't want to hang it by just a few screws as this would lead to a permanent strain of the material. Therefore the organizer is placed on top a metal angle that carries most of the weight. The material I chose was then PLA because it doesn't have to hold much load.

==Learnings==
Similar to the projects I did in parallel ([[Project:Press Tool for Headset Cups Holder]] and [[Project:Hard Soldering Torch Holder]]), this one showed me another possibility of metal hardware supporting printed models.

==Idea==
The new hard soldering tool in the [[Hot Metal Area]] doesn't have a place or holder for the torch.

==Creation Steps / Process==
Since the tip of the torch is to hot for any printable material this side is supported by a long screw connected to the wall. The side of the handle is hold by a small holder made with PETG to withstand residual warmth that is slit on two screws similar to other wall mounted objects you may have seen.

==Learnings==
Similar to the projects I did in parallel ([[Project:Press Tool for Headset Cups Holder]] and [[Project:Metal Lathe Thread Gears Organizer]]), this one showed me another possibility of metal hardware supporting printed models. Also this mounting system was a first for me: printing it without supports is the better choice since the material is very hard to remove from inside otherwise.

Right now I'm studying molecular biology in the 2nd semester at the university of Heidelberg and have been doing smaller and sometimes bigger projects for years. Solving problems is one of the main driving forces for me in most areas.

Since I started 3D printing in 2020 and got my first printer in 2022, the number of my projects increased and kept growing since. Now I want to cross fields and try to learn more about other materials and manufacturing methods. If I don't work on my own projects at home or in the space, I also try to find (small) things I can solve/fix at the space.

Project:Drink and Ball Holder for Table Kicker

}}
==Idea==
To protect the Kicker table in the homeroom from spilled drinks a separate holder was needed. The Idea was to combine this model with a tray or store module for multiple of the game balls. (As proposed in [https://github.com/comakingspace/do-something/issues/378 #378])

==Creation Steps / Process==
Important was the maximum diameter (in this case the beer cans) of the beverages found in the space to ensure that the holder will be used as intended. Also the minimal height for smaller cans and the minimal diameter was recorded so that nothing can get stuck in it or tilt too much.

Using Onshape I designed a one part model that includes 2 drink holders and a slide for up to 4 balls that can be printed without the need for supports. Since it will hang in the homeroom for hopefully some time it's better for it to be quite robust:

I reinforced it around the screw holes preventing layer splitting when fastening and connected the three parts in a second dimension reducing possible levers. As material I choose PETG to have a slight advantage over PLA regarding the longevity (more than that shouldn't be necessary).

After drilling I embedded dowels to fasten the model to the wall with 4 M4 wood screws.

==Learnings==

* To create the smooth slide for the balls I had to improve my understanding of lofts regarding giving them enough information to control the resulting shape better.
* I also learned that sometimes it is better to create fillets without the fillet command but rather using tangent circles and negative extrudes.
* Since I haven't really used an impact drill before, this was also something new for me.
