The video shows the first printing outputs from the SLS DIY 3D printer. It also provides a detailed insight into the individual tasks such as filling the printer with powder, preheating, printing, post-processing, etc.
Once the project is completed, it will become open source.

Probably the most exciting project on RU-vid at the moment for every maker! Congratulations Thomas ! Looking forward to building one myself :)

@SLS4All 11 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot for your kind words. I think you will be able to build your own relatively soon... 😉

@NeoIsrafil 5 месяцев назад

Bravo to you sir!! Thank you for making sls one step closer to being available for hobbyists to be able to afford and/or make one. All these companies that are greedily charging many thousands for less than 200 in parts are probably shaking in their boots! ❤

@theofficialczex1708 Год назад

Getting much closer to viability! The improvements are immense.

@austinshupe9626 Год назад

This is one of the most incredible diy objects I've seen. I think this design could be used for metal 3d printing with some tweaks. I'd love to support you in anyway, I have access to high end cnc and can machine you any part for no cost.

@SLS4All Год назад

Thanks a lot for your interest and your kind offer. I believe that with people like you, SLS4All project will take a huge step forward once I will publish the documentation. Stay tuned.

dame diy is at this level already, thanks to thinkerers like you :) So much i want to do upgrade old printer i3 mega. build a high speed normal, finish the cnc steel thingy in basment. and remake an old co2 lasers rails & software...now that is upgraded sls plans instead if its power is enough :P....nm possible with diode dame even more interesting. To many projects to little time. Many thanks for dealing with the prototyping so me and others fail a bit less ;)

@sixtired Год назад

Hello, I appreciate your work. but there is one thing i don't understand. at 3:46 how did you do the surface heatmap? I'm very curious what measuring instrument and software you used.

@SLS4All Год назад

Hi, we use the thermo camera module with the resolution of 32x24 measuring points. Here is the exact type: Waveshare MLX90640. We are using our own software solution for the the printer control.

@JemicoTX Год назад

3:40. Wow. I had no idea there was a required preheat delay for SLS. 75 minutes, how does this compare to commercially available SLS machines today? 10:13 - How long is the cool down process? Thank you for this project and your videos!

@SLS4All Год назад

Thanks a lot for your interest. To my knowledge, preheat times of commercial benchtop SLS printers varies somewhere between 1 and 2 hours. Cooling times are much longer. They depend on the different parameters and take several hours.

@verasen Год назад

This is unbelievable work! Would there be a possibility to increase the z height for taller prints?

@SLS4All Год назад

Thanks! Yes, I plan to make the separate Z-height upgrade set like add-on to the current printer design.

@bartekburmistrz8679 Год назад

Lovely build, wanted to ask if you are worried about exposure to nylon dust or it's environmental impact, as in you will try to reduce both of these in future iterations. Your other comment said that the build cost you about 3k$, please try to make a company. I believe that there is a huge market for affordable sls printing. I would love to have an option of buying an sls printer for about 2.5 to 4 k $

@SLS4All Год назад

Thank you very much for your interest in my project. No, I'm not worried about nylon exposure. The reason is that it is not carcinogenic, just an irritant unless you handle it carefully and use a protective mask. I did have problems with the bed seals, but that's been resolved - I'll test it in the new version. As more people asked me about the kit I decided to work on that. If all goes OK, it will be ready in a few months.

@behlulsimsek8708 4 месяца назад

He is smart, resourceful and humble. Tomas, you are such a royal man, my friend. I looked at your site, but I couldn't understand what type of laser you used. Did you use UV?

@SLS4All 4 месяца назад

Thanks! I use 445nm blue diode laser.

@@SLS4All Thank you for the reply, do you use a galvo head? Or is it the moving x y axis?

@SLS4All 4 месяца назад

Both the prototype and the RC version of my printer use galvo.

@behlulsimsek8708 4 месяца назад

@@SLS4All I didn't know there was a galvo in the diode laser. Is there a product you can recommend?

@SLS4All 4 месяца назад

There are two separate parts - laser and the galvo. You can find links on my website. If you have further questions, consider joining my Discord as it's better to discuss there. Link is in the description.

powder - it's for metal printing or plastic?

@SLS4All Год назад

It is for plastic. This print was from PA12 nylon. I also plan to test soft materilas like TPU.

@ovDarkness 10 месяцев назад

Your surface temp is fluctuating A LOT (I don;t know if its measurement fluctuation or real temp. one). I found that even 0.5C fluctuation can cause prints to look awful. At least on my Sinterit Lisa Pro. BTW: could you please share which PA12 powder you'e using?

@SLS4All 10 месяцев назад

You're right. That's why I completely changed the halogen heating head and control algorithm. It works quite well now. I used some cheap powder from Alibaba, but the link doesn't work anymore unfortunately. I also use Fromlabs PA12 powder for my tests.

@Sh4dowHunter42 Год назад

Can metal powders be used with this printer? Why just Nylon?

@SLS4All Год назад

Just plastic polymers. Metal printing is technologically a completely different story.

probably fiber laser can increase print speed

@SLS4All Год назад

Yes, for sure. But it is of different budget and module dimensions :-) I just ordered the 10W (it uses two 5W diodes) diode laser module to test it. If it will work, current max. print speed will be doubled - approx. 2000mm/s.
