Arctic's Open Source RGB Laser Host

Glad to see it working ArcticDude. :) Could you image how good it would look if someone got it SLS printed. Looking forward to seeing the end product. :beer:

I really concider this option also.. Because there's really good 3D printing service with high quality EOS EOSINT P 395 - printer here at my home town..

They can print:
  • Aluminum AlSi12
  • Steel 1.2709
  • Stainless steel 1.4404
  • Titanium TiAl6V4
  • inconel 625
  • inconel 718
  • Stainless steel 17-4PH
  • invar(1.3912)


    And Nylon PA3200GF

BUT, price would be at least double with Nylon..

..And Aluminium... Imagine price and multiply it 10000x

Yes, SLS is more expensive. :( But the quality is amazing. I have had specialist corner pieces made for one of my tesseract desk lights. Far superior to that of FDM/FFF printing. I used 3D Hubs for mine.
It is a shame really, it does make the price rather extortionate for a laser host. I'm sure it will still look very good when complete. :beer:

Yep, that is reason why I ended up PETG..

- Very durable, it’s more flexible than PLA or ABS
- It has very low shrinkage
- Highly impact resistant material
- Can take quite much heat before losing mechanical strenght
- It has a great chemical resistance, along with alkali, acid and water resistance
- Cheap
 
Good, your host should last quite nicely. :) How is printing with PETG compared to that of PLA?

Much slower and higher temperature 235C-240C while printing.. You can heat your apartment while printing stuff :crackup:

Thank you ArcticDude. :) I might have to look into PETG a bit more ready for next winter. :D
 
I just read closer, they can print using molten aluminum? Or is it plastic with a lot of aluminum in it?

I think material sheet says 89% Aluminum and 10-11% Silicon + 0.5% Mg 🤔

Just noticed that EOS M 400 has 1Kw laser on it!!
:lasergun:


EDIT:

Actually EOS AlSi10Mg printed objects have slightly better thermal conductivity than EN AW-2007 [AlCu4PbMgMn] Aluminum that I've lathed.

If some day I win in lottery, I know where I'm gonna fabricate my hosts :D

That feeling when every part fits together seamlessly.... Priceless! :p

I'm gonna hold you in tense few days more guys, that I can install all the electronics
 
Very good ArcticDude, can't rep you again yet. It looks great now it is coming together. Can't wait to see that beautiful RGB coming out of it. :beer:
 
Really looking forward to see this laser doing color cycling. PETG is always translucent even though it's "black". :p
