Shipping News
As we anticipated in our May update, we've had a slight delay in our shipping schedule. We are currently waiting for the injected polycarbonate parts, which were supposed to be delivered by mid-June. The rest of production is finished. As soon as we receive those parts—which we expect to happen before mid-July—we will finish packing up the boxes and shipping them to Crowd Supply. For now, we have revised our estimated ship date to mid-August. Read the full update.

[Video] 3D Print Custom Parts Without 3D Modeling!
There is just one week left in the campaign! First of all, I want to thank you very much for your support. I am very happy about the reception of the campaign, and I hope that the kits that will be delivered fulfill all your expectations. In this update we show the manufacture of a keychain based on an image with the text “Thank you!”. Lite3DP allows the possibility of “hacking” the sections that we print (unlike most current MSLA 3D printers, which use a print file without modification possibilities).

A Brief History
From the moment I read about the existence of 3D printers, especially around the RepRap Project, I felt an immense and immediate attraction to 3D printing: machines that you could build yourself and customize, low cost and that automatically manufacture parts to build other machines… it was a dream come true. Here's a brief history of how I came to design the Lite3DP S1. Read the full update for more. Read the full update.
