So I'm browsing AliExpress and stumble upon the control board for the Photon M3.
Additionally, the Photon M3 screen was still available for the £54 price, and with more quanitities than 1 or 2.
Speed Calculations
But surely, FDM printers like the Sublime will still be faster when it comes to draft prints, so there's a need still.
Assuming 3 * 1.5s exposure for a 120um layer thickness and 3 seconds to change resin whilst cleaning the layer: 160 /(3600/7.5 * 0.12) = 2.7778 .78 * 60 = 46.8 minutes Time: 2h 47m.
*starts slicing with the CR10 0.8mm nozzle + 0.5mm layer height profile*
Ok so I just have to beat 2h 47m and the SecSavr Sublime isn't redundan--
Speeds?
Ok those might be a tad slow, maybe? Ok what if the change takes 6 seconds and not 3?
160 /(3600/10.5 * 0.12) = 3.8889
Still sub 4 hours!!
Ok. TestBox Profile Me. 0.8mm nozzle, 0.5mm layer height, 240mm/s everywhere, 16K print acceleration and 20K travel acceleration, 8% double-lined infill.
131/(3600/10.5 * 0.12) = 3.184 .184 * 60 = 11.04 Time: 3h 11m
It's... a tie?
[E1: 18th July] I didn't notice that Cura didn't save the new nozzle size when I changed it in settings.
Even with more realistic flow rates of 120mm/s and 9K acceleration isn't that much of a time penalty:
[E1 End]
Doesn't look like the 0.1mm layers would even need the 5 axis ironing step like for a 0.5mm FDM print.
Looking at the 8.9" screen again
8.9^2 / 6.6^2 = 1.8184 108 * 1.8 = 194.4 W source to match 108W COB
Now, writing this log, I realise that the screen sizes aren't square so the area difference is less than this. Anyway, I went off to look for that kind of power since the one at the store was only 120W.
The 7.6" 4K screen
At 4:53 am, I asked this:
The seller said that the 6.6" COB was the best option for what they had. I can confirm, since one of the options was this beast:
