Check this out! SLA goes homemade

This probably is the coolest thing I have seen for a long time:

Tinkerer Junior Veloso (www.3dhomemade.blogspot.com) created what most probably is the first homemade SLA printer - killer resolution, see yourself:

See his baby in action:





Junior is aiming at developing a builder's guide and a commercial kit that allows everyone to replicate his printer at low cost - unfortunately he hasn't given out a rough estimate yet. He is planning on crowdsourcing his project via www.indiegogo.com, but hasn't set up a concrete project yet.

I'll keep this blog updated on his actions!
