Aren't you trying nanodlp yourself sukhvir?
I set it up a couple of weeks ago @bolsoncerrado, however had issues with it displaying layers. I'll give it another go soon, but am currently working on the dual vat build. Is anyone else going to attempt a dual vat system?
@sukhvir I had to move nanodlp SD card to a Raspi2 as I had HDMI issues with a Raspi3 with 6 HDMI cables I tested. All of them blanked out after a while. But the one I tested worked fine with the Raspi2 since minute 0.
Either a deffective Raspi3 or an incompatibility with nanoDLP and Raspi3 code :???
@bolsoncerrado, So the screen just "blanks".. after a while?.. Can you elaborate a bit? .. After I get my new vat finished, the next step was Rpi3 and Nano... I also have a Rpi2.. May just go with that if there's problems with 3..
@Sukvir, Do you have yours up and running with Nano?
yeah after a given amount of minutes, 2 or 3, you no longer get input from the pi hdmi no matter what. sometimes not even after fresh boot up.
I'm printing now from pi2 eversince and hassle free. dunno if it was my pi or an issue with Nano but I guess if it was the later, someone else would have complained already.... or not. May be it's just this specific hardware (monitor).
Are you liking running from Nano?
Definetly, nth times better than a laptop+CWS combo!!
You dont burn a laptop display + computer cycles + having to loose a computer as it has to remain untouched as the print goes
You can put the raspi inside the Morpheus and have a single solution all-in-one remote controllable (even adding a webcam in it)
nanoDLP accepts STLs (CWS only opens OBJs)
nanoDLP slices on the go (you can start printing already without waiting for the slicing to finish)
nanoDLP allows pixel diming now
and much more to come, I think ;)
Hi all and sorry @AngryPanda for late reply. We have our Kickstarter campaign kicking off next week so have been really busy getting things in place for that.
My dual vat system is ready to run but the frame for it is a bit big and I haven't had time to take it to get it cut (it's a thick piece of acrylic). Hoping to get this done at some point next week and I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, here's a small teaser video and I'd appreciate if you could help to spread the word about the campaign. The computer has all been 3D printed by the way :)
Best of lucks with that, @sukhvir!
You should program a Thunderclap for it too :D
Great idea @bolsoncerrado. I've never done one before but will have a bash.
Hi Guys: has anyone spilled resin on the monitor.. What could I use to remove the resin without damaging the monitor?
I used a cutter knife blade to carefully peel it from the monitor...
Hey guys
So for some reason CW doesn't move my build plate up and down anymore. Just nothing happens when I try to manually control it.
The screen still connects fine and my computer still picks up the arduino, but no movement from the motors.
I redid the profile with the Gcode just in case, reloaded the arduino drivers and nothing happens.
Anyone else have this problem?

Did you try a different computer? different USB cable? different USB port?
Yep. All of the above.
Yikes! Perhaps a problem with the mosfet? Did you check wiring inside the printer?
@Jao,
I ran into something similar when I was trying to setup my endstop. I accidentally bumped my Z- Stepper cable knocking it loose. When I realized what I did, I plugged it back in. Unfortunately I was not paying attention amd did so while everything was still powered on. I FRIED MY STEPPER CONTROLLER!! (Note to noobs like me.. do NOT remove or plug in stepper motor cables while power is applied. It does evil things)
I didn't realize I had fried the controller. My symptoms were the same as what you described. All worked but the Z lift. I replaced the stepper controller on the arduino and all started to work again!!

Hi AngryPanda
Which one is the z-Stepper cable and what does the stepper controller look like? Is it a hard thing to find and replace?
How could I test if this is indeed the problem?
I wish that I could get some customer support from OWL.
I finally figured out a way to print large objects utilizing the whole build platform using free software. I would love to share my findings with the community but
I need to get the big red paperweight working again first.

hi Joe
which software ??
Hi guys
I just installed the printer, but the display and LED not responding. I use PC with Windows 7, I use DVI to VGA adapter to connect with Morpheus. when I start a print led only blinks that's all, nothing has happening but Z axis is working. kindly give your suggestions
Can anyone guide me how to install aurduino, when I plugged USB it's automatically detected it's okay or not ?
Did you receive link to the Youtube videos on how to install everything? If you followed instructions there then you should not have any problem.
My recommendation to you is this:
Restart your laptop.. then from your software try to print something (without resin)..
and look at the printer led panel to see if you see the layers there.. (make sure that you see each layer for 20-25 minutes).. If you see all the layers in led panel then you should be fine.. If you see screen blinking or layers don't show up then your led monitor could be damaged..
PS: use appropriate glasses for uv light so that you don't damage your eyes
Does your laptop not have HDMI? Not sure why you would want to use DVI to VGA. I don't think an analogue VGA signal will be as clean as a digital one. Try DVI to DVI or HDMI to HDMI.
Hi Every one, Happy new year to all
I have a doubt :confused: why we should not replace with a Solid VAT with PDMS coating
share your suggestion/ideas !!!
I've not used a printer with PDMS coating, however I assume that the peeling process is a bit better with the PDMS coating. The difference comes down to cost. The film layer on the Morpheus will last far longer and doesn't really become cloudy over long term use. I have printed with 6 litres using the same film. PDMS needs to be replaced after using 2 litres as it will become cloudy and degrade the prints, making the whole process very expensive.
@karthik.pdy where did you get the morpheus resin? at which price?
Hi, everyone happy new year 😁 How are you disposing the supports , rejected products and waste resin
Hi everyone, so somehow the film for my resin tray was perforated by the build plate, and leaked some resin onto the LCD screen. Since cleaning it up the LCD screen will not make any layer images. the UV LEDs come on, but no layer image... any idea how to fix this...?
Same boat here, still awaiting TOW response for the last MONTHS :(
Keep me posted if you hear from them. However mine didnt came from a leakage.
I suspect we were booked with faulty LCD panels or something. I recall someone here got his replaced by TOW too...
