I think that dude already been offered big money by corporations thats why not much updates from him.
Any photopolymer resin should be a good starting point, but gotta beware of the handling of such materials, especially the fumes they release. Besides that, they wont have as good mechanical properties as abs/pla, but at least DLP printing can allow for high resolution printing parts.

I've tried searching for a photopolymer source before in malaysia, and there arent much. I read that some ink pad stamping companies might have em, but not much progress. Finally end in i settled for mendel tongue.gif

photoresist used in semicon are very toxic, and super expensive. They normally charge you extra handling fee for delivery. Some could cost up to $1 k usd for delivery only.

They are not-so-toxic one, Aldrich® Negative Photoresist Kit I or Ethyl L-lactate from Sigma Aldrich, but i doubt it has enough mechanical strength for large object printing.

Just get from overseas. they are plenty successful cases online.

That's right.  Everyone is so humble and secretive about their future shaping machine. 
Glad to see another RepRap enthusiast reporting in.  biggrin.gif

Yup, that's a micro CNC mill selling for more than RM5k.  Just mount a motor on your RepRap and it get transformed to a CNC mill as well.

I believe the photopolymer is the same type used for photolithography process in wafer fabrication.  Anyone has contacts to wafer fab chemical supplier?  Please report in yourself here.  cool2.gif

I just bought a makerbot2x. Still have alot of issues with hardware and software reliability.

Own a reprap too. Hope to see more enthusiasts here.
