If you love miniatures and have a few thousand dollars to spare, you might want to have a look at this 3d printer. Provided by a company called Junction3d, the Solus DLP 3D printer might revolutionize the miniature market.
“Using our patent-pending TUF peeling mechanism we have eliminated the need for replacing or re-coating resin tanks with PDMS, while at the same time providing a low-stick surface for smooth peeling,” the company writes on their website. They also claim that the printer allows for “a professional-level surface quality and incredibly fine details.”
This magic comes for $2,299. The projector is sold separately for $699 – $899, depending on the model. Intrigued? Have a look at the miniatures and jewelry below that were printed using Solus. Some of them are no more than an inch tall!

It's very cool that you can print such tiny pieces with so much detail... but what is the practical application? For $2300, not counting the projector (not sure what that's for?), I don't want a ring I might find in a box of Cracker Jack... I want something that I can sell, preferably for at least $30-$50 each (if not more) so that the printer pays for itself, as well as the projector and printing supplies/schematics over time. ************ If not that, then I'd want to use it to print things we can't create in other ways, like artificial limbs &/or assistive devices for small animals with amputations/injuries. Most of all, I"d want to use it to make a real difference in the world - not to make toys.
