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 option
