A quest to design, source, and assemble a 3D printer with high reliability using a Raspberry Pi 2

Lift v2 and Vat
I found a vat that closely fits a 1080P projector at a 100 micron resolution print. I found that polypropylene containers work just fine as a vat. However, this meant redesigning the lift, as the previous design had supports that offset the available print plate surface. This new lift has a thinner plate (and thus thinner minimum resin top layer), and thinner vertical supports. The lift is stiff enough it should be consistent when in the vat.
I learned that 1/8" aluminum is often called "sheet" as opposed to "plate", and may be in a different section of the store.
