Frozen due to the following reasons:
- Diverting time to the #SecSavr Suspense [gd0105], #Teti [gd0022] and #Tetent [gd0090]. If I try and go for everything, I'll probably end up with nothing to show for it.
- Other than continuous fibre, gd0105 could potentially fufill my 3D printing needs in a smaller footprint and lower cost, as well as higher speed for multiple parts (the brand is called "Second Saver" after all).
- gd0105 and the previous log made me realise just how much more stuff there is to model for gd0036, and I'd like to wait for #enSweepen [gd0096] to model all that.
- I'm out of my student accomodation for the next 2 months, where gd0036 is intended to be installed. I can make gd0105 outside of the SleepCinema, but can't really say the same thing for gd0036 (back to the "smaller footprint" thing I wrote earlier)
I remember I had a slight worry all the way back when I was starting out with gd0036 (in 2021) and thinking to myself "You know I'm not the fastest CAD modeller out there. What if some fancy technology finally comes out in 2022 and makes my FDM printer archaic? I feel like some resin printer could do that if it played its cards right." (similar to buying a 2080ti a month before the 3070). Seems that that time is now. I still can't see how someone or some company before BCN3D hasn't created this kind of film lamination MSLA/DLP 3d printer though. Then again, there doesn't seem to be much research other than on the material side for making resin printers safer to use or cutting out post processing steps.
In other news, I just found out that BCN3D is planning to ship printers in Spring 2023 (as I expected) but only 20 of them (kinda strange, especially since they have over 500 signups and I thought the printers were already ready for mass adoption) so if I could obtain a future where I have a working SecSavr Suspense (as currently invisioned) before then, I'd have a next generation 3D printer before the big companies and it'll be something closer to a second gen version already.
