LumiFold Setup - Early guide

LumiFold Setup - Early guide


Projector

The amount of lumens emitted is critical and determines the exposure time for each layer.
It should not be less than 2000 lumens, and the recommended values ​​are between 2600 and 3000 lumens.
The Pico projectors must NOT be used because they do not emit enough light, generally they do not exceed 100 lumens.
Make sure your projector does support vertical mount and the minimum throw distance is suitable for your configuration. The ideal is a minimal projection distance in the order of 30 – 50 cm.
Another feature that is not essential but very useful is a tripod attach on the bottom of the projector unit. It allows you to mount the projector on a tripod.
The LumiFold has been tested with unmodified DLP projectors. LED projectors have not been tested.

PC requirements


The Slicing software requires a dual or quad core Cpu to perform slicing quickly. An accelerated OpenGL card is required for STL preview. If not available, you can run the text-only version of the slicer.
The projection software that synchronizes the LumiFold is lightweight and can run on netbooks too.

Resin

We reccomend SpotMaterials SpotGP resin.
With 0.5% of SpotMaterials pigments:
