Hi Octane Jewelry

Whilst searching for references towards my B-tech, I stumbled upon this website called Hi Octane Jewelry. Whilst most of their jewellery seems to be handmade, I think its really cool to see someone else manufacture jewellery using automobiles as their inspiration.

The website is http://hioctanejewelry.com/store/ 

Let there be light!

After a very long wait, the curing station in my printer has finally been fixed. Hoping to get going with my printing and manufacturing towards my B-tech....

The fine line of light between the two doors shows that the curing station is now working. 

Modifying the Dehydrator

I've recently noticed that if  I leave my resins in the dehydrator for a shorter amount of time, only one side gets cured. This is due to the light only being at the top off the box and not underneath the piece. Having a look at the curing station inside my printer, I noticed that there was a lot of mirror which reflects the UV light. This gave me the idea of adding a piece of mirror into the dehydrator. Hopefully this will give me a more even cure.

Printer Finally Back!

After sending my printer away to be fixed almost a month ago, I have finally just taken delivery of it. The problem with the curing station is still not fixed and the delay was caused by the 3D systems not sending the required part down (So I'm told). The technician should be here on Wednesday to resolve the issue at my premises.
