A big factor that kept people from using my Monkeyprint DLP printer software was the necessity to build the custom Monkeyprint electronics board that drives the actuators. To make Monkeyprint DLP more attractive for DLP printer builders I have made a big leap forward: Monkeyprint DLP is now able to send G-code. Finally!

If you have built the Monkeyprint DLP printer control board you might now ask yourself how to hook it up. Follow this guide and in no time you’ll have your board up and running…. Continue reading Monkeyprint DLP printer control board wiring tutorial
In the previous Monkeyprint board tutorial I showed you how to etch the PCB. In this follow up, you will be soldering the components to get your board going.
Many DLP printer makers experience a brightness fall-off of their projected images towards the edges of the vat floor. This will lead to inhomogeneous curing of the resin and therefore failed prints. In this post, I will explain the reason for this effect and provide a simple solution using Monkeyprint.
