That's the printer resolution, of course your parts won't look
like that, I would say 200 dpi at it's best.
the parts looks like aluminum castings, just like the first Zcorp
parts.If someone have the time to play with glicerin and other staff
to controll how deep the water wets out the powder then youcan get
better looking parts,I'm almost there, but i don't want to spend a
lot of time on it if I don't have the software ready.
the "thing" about the software is that it needs to read a Slice
file (.slc) or open a .stl file, slice it up then fill out the
contours and send it to the printer.
it's not a easy task, that's why I'm stock with the hardware
waiting for Roger to get the software done, I hope he is not going
to charge to much for it.
