Video presents the complete printing procedure of the Inova DIY SLS 3D Printer. It explains in detail all the tasks leading towards the successful prints. It means printer preparation, job creation, nesting, slicing as well as the post processing.
I am also pleased to announce that you can now order a complete set of parts to build your Inova SLS printer. Check out SLS4All.com for all the detailed information.
And finally, Inova is becoming open source as promised. We’ve started with the hardware, which means that:
- full BOMs
- schematics for the GATE1 and ZERO1 expansion boards
- the complete Live! as well as a downloadable 3D model of the Inova printer
are now available in the members section of the project webpage.
We have also done most of the FW and SW pre-publishing activities. So, the SLS4All Compact software package will also be released very soon.

    Wow the software seems very good

  • @DS-pk4eh
    @DS-pk4eh 3 дні тому

    Thank you for this video. And even more for this project. Question : Can you maybe make 3D presentation of how much space a standard setup would require (printer, cleaning station, any other table / shelf needed ). It would be important info for the people who would like to purchase your kits. Thanks

    • @SLS4All
      @SLS4All 3 дні тому

      That's a good idea, I'll prepare some information about that.

  • @EPeltzer
    @EPeltzer 6 днів тому

    $7,000 is the kit cost. And I believe that does not include the cleaning station. This is a very impressive demonstration. However I would not say at this price that this is something that is "for all." I was expecting a kit to be 2 or $3,000 and even then I would probably wait and see. Yes nylon SLS is far superior to FDM or SLA. Still, a wonderful FDM printer can now be had for 1/10 this cost. When I really need SLS parts I will have a job shop make them and ship it to me, it's quick cost effective these days.

    • @SLS4All
      @SLS4All 6 днів тому

      I uderstand your point but if you check the costs of the parts needed you will see that price tag you would like to see is now simply impossible. Believe me that I would be more than happy if I could offer it cheaper. Btw., when FDM and SLA printers started, I mean before their boom, the demand was low and prices high. That's the rule of the market.

    Can you print metal parts with it? Using some different powder designed for SLS it should be possible I guess.

    • @SLS4All

      No, that's not possible. Metal printing is a whole different world.

    • @SLS4All
      @SLS4All 14 днів тому

      No, you can't. Priting metal is a completely different discipline, it is not just about the laser power.

    A kit is 7000$ USD, which is somewhat expensive. Anyone know the total cost if you would source the parts yourself?

  • @Kinoko314
    @Kinoko314 26 днів тому

    I'm glad you at least bothered to say "wear a mask," but I don't think that's sufficient when you're talking about SLS. Just because the plastic isn't toxic doesn't mean that it's good for you when you breath it. I would hope you use a respirator, and have some decent ventilation. You didn't even talk about cleanup. I worry about what someone might do with one of these, if they assume that it's all harmless. Of course it is possible to use it safely, but will people know how to do that?

    • @SLS4All
      @SLS4All 25 днів тому

      I'll make another video focused on the post processing and printer cleaning only. I plan to focus there also on the aspects you are reffereing to.

    This thing is amazing! I hope what's published remains published regardless of what the future holds for this wonderful project! What's killing me is the post processing of these parts. PA12 is a crazy strong material that speaks for itself once you have in in your hands but the process is even more involved and much more messy than even SLA which most people already don't want to do. Seems like the next step is to develop and auto-cleaner as well as a proper powder recycler. Then, while we're at it, we need to develop a part recycler. I don't see why that wouldn't be possible. Just grind down the parts back to powder of the same grain size. I'm sure there is a way to so that reliably similar to the original industrial process as well. Keep up the amazing work!

    • @SLS4All
      @SLS4All 25 днів тому

      Thanks! Post processing can be annoying but not if you have the right tools and accessories. I don't think it will be easily possible to have fully automated post processing on the small SLS machines, but maybe I am wrong.

  • @HamreForge

    What testing and results led you to the conclusion that sintering the infill first, and then the contour, provides better results than contour first and then infill?

    • @SLS4All
      @SLS4All Місяць тому

      This gives us slightly better results in terms of the top and bottom surface quality. It is configurable.

    • @SLS4All
      @SLS4All Місяць тому

      Thanks a lot! Branded PA12 powder is around 100USD/kg, non-branded from Ali is appprox. 55USD/kg. Note that 1kg of powder is approx. 2 litres in volume.
