Overclock your SLA 3D printer

[raw]

I'm pretty new to the world of 3D printing, but by far the most frustrating aspect of the printers I've used is the limitation to only use pre-defined write parameters for proprietary materials. Autodesk has started to address the materials transparency issue by open-sourcing their resins. Perhaps equally exciting is this Instructable I just found on how to 'overclock' the Ember 3D printer. MORE POWER!

Funny that you just posted this -- Autodesk also just announced they are open-sourcing their electronics and firmware as well. The firmware files look pretty complicated for an introductory user, but there is potential that someone could actually build off of Autodesk's work.

Does anyone have any idea how theses licenses actually work? Here is what I could find on the so-called "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license"... I don't understand why they bother to license it at all. Apparently this is the same license that Arduino used to license their design files.

As far as I can tell @cwrainey, the purpose is to lock future users into the same licensing as your original product. So someone can't swoop in, add one ingredient, and then make it proprietary. It forces the user of the license to both attribute the source:

"You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use."

And adopt the same licensing of any future formulation:

"If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original."
