Hey, so I had to choose a hardware...my printer is not listed, but I run Octopi on a Rasperry Pi connected to my printer so this seems to be a good pick!
But actually I thought I'll just share this one on how to do mold making and casting, dont know if there are better ways out there, but it seemed fun enough to share to the community!!
And since there needs to be a question to wrap this up, and I choose Tic Tac Toe as a category, I will do it Jeopardy style and will be asking... A game where the winner needs to complete a row with three symbols?

And also I would thank @RelatedContent for solving this on his first guess!!
LOL! Love it. This does look like fun. Thanks.
@mickey666Maus. I know this is not your printer but have You used a SLA or a DLP Printer yourself what are your opinions on this type of printers. in the video there was very little cleanup of the object. which would be a plus for mold making. Great information. lots of great ideas . Thanks.
@nallycat I have never used a SLA or a DLP Printer, just because it is a bit toxic by nature...but lets see, they are getting better and cheaper! Could be a thing for the future!!
@Mickey666Maus Thanks Mickey I heard that they give off a resin smell when using them. I think like my CO2 Laser they should be vented to the outside. the build size is small but I understand the quality of the print is very high. I am not to sure how durable the Print is, as I would like to build Robot parts it would need to be very strong. Maybe make molds for aluminum casting, which I would like to try.
No, I mean the uncured resin itself is really toxic...that is what kept me from buying a resin printer!
@Mickey666Maus Thanks for the information and the video, yes I can see how you would be nervous about using these types of resins, I think if you follow the safety guidelines it can be safe. When I started using a CO2 laser it is the most dangerous. thing you can own. the beam is invisable and can blind you in seconds the extremely high voltages can kill in seconds and the water used to cool the laser tube can be a conductor. if you try to cut things like vinyl the fumes are pure poison. and it can start fires and burn your house down. I have used a laser for 15 years. but I have learned how to use one with the utmost care. They will never make a resin printer safe, so just understand the dangers and follow the rules. you drive a car it can kill you but you still do it.
@nallycat your laser sounds fuuuuuun!!!!!
Actually I was less worried about safety procedures, that about waste disposal...its probably not the most environmental friendly thing!! But lets see, I might get one of them in the future anyways!!
