Message: <blockquote data-quote="Starfox" data-source="post: 6022884" data-attributes="member: 2303">Some random quotes: We estimate ongoing resin prices of around $149 per liter, butKickstarter supporters who buy a Form 1 print package will beguaranteed at least 1 liter per month for $129 ($0.13 per cubiccentimeter) or cheaper for the life of their printer.  This iscompared to available resin from traditional suppliers, whichcurrently costs around $300-$800 per liter, and is is less than atenth the cost of online print services.We've engineered our resin to work well with the Form 1. It's a hugepart of the engineering that has gone into this project. We won't beable to offer support for third party resins.It is durable enough to make molds!You could print about 77 rook pieces with 1 liter of resin.You can leave the excess resin on the part for as long as you wantassuming it isn’t exposed to a light source containing 405nm (likesunlight).We’re designing this printer to be a serious workhorse. We have beenrunning the printers in our office pretty much all day, every dayduring development.The printer is very quiet. It only makes a small servo noise when ithas finished a layer. You can smell the resin if you put your faceclose to it (not recommended), but if you use it in a room with anykind of airflow it’s pretty much unnoticeable.Excess resin just stays in the tray. When it runs low, you just pourmore in. Nearly all the resin goes into the parts that you make (minuswhat is used for support structures, and what is rinsed off during thefinishing process).</blockquote>
