As field ready states in the design brief, Standard benchtop UV cure stations cost more than a 1,000 USD. Also are highly energy demanding and are not so flexible. We are so glad to say that we managed to address all the requirements proposed by Fielded. We design a UV wand, open source, with enough power to cure UV adhesives, flexible (considering that is a multitool kit with the possibility of design different tools for the battery pack), energy efficient. And of course, cost effective.
The total amount that we spend in materials, components and shipping to create one unit of UVA-1 was:
203.16 $ USD
Now the specific costs of every part of the project:
- PCBs fabrication 15$ (5$ each)
- UVA-E-LED-1
- UVA-E-CPU-1
- UVA-E-DRV-1
- PCBs Shipping 22$ (In total)
- PCBs Paypal fee 2$
- UVA-E-LED-1 Components 91.61$
- UVA-E-CPU-1 Components 7.14$
- UVA-E-DRV-1 Components 6.59$
- AZ-Delivery Oled Screen 7.36$
- 18650 Battery (3 cells) 34.23$
- Switch TL2230 1.12$
- ATS Heatsink 9.13$
- Battery Contacts (8) 1.44$
- Wire TUOFENG (1M) 1.40$
- Filament eSun (147gr) 3.78$
- Electricity 2.7Kw/h (3D Printer) 0.36$
