[A] Project Frozen

A project log for SecSavr Sublime [gd0036]

An FDM 3D printer that I described as "The FULL Coverage, Extended X, Pro Max, Ultramatrix Solution".

Frozen due to the following reasons:

I remember I had a slight worry all the way back when I was starting out with gd0036 (in 2021) and thinking to myself "You know I'm not the fastest CAD modeller out there. What if some fancy technology finally comes out in 2022 and makes my FDM printer archaic? I feel like some resin printer could do that if it played its cards right." (similar to buying a 2080ti a month before the 3070). Seems that that time is now. I still can't see how someone or some company before BCN3D hasn't created this kind of film lamination MSLA/DLP 3d printer though. Then again, there doesn't seem to be much research other than on the material side for making resin printers safer to use or cutting out post processing steps.

In other news, I just found out that BCN3D is planning to ship printers in Spring 2023 (as I expected) but only 20 of them (kinda strange, especially since they have over 500 signups and I thought the printers were already ready for mass adoption) so if I could obtain a future where I have a working SecSavr Suspense (as currently invisioned) before then, I'd have a next generation 3D printer before the big companies and it'll be something closer to a second gen version already.
