These are Creality LD-002R SLA 3D Printers. We now have two of these- one purchased, one donated.
Unlike the old Monoprice SLA we used to have, this printer requires external slicing software. Some available options are:
- Chitubox (requires signup to download/use)
- Mango3D Lychee (requires signup to use)
- PrusaSlicer can also be used (claiming the printer is an SL1), but you would have to post-process its output with uv3dp, as described in this reddit post.
For now, we have Lychee installed on the computer near the SLA printers. There is a 'generic' account for login, or create your own account.
As of right now, there's also no way to automatically send a print to the printer. Slice it to the USB stick and then put the stick in the printer. At some point in the future, we may set up a dedicated Pi or Pi Zero 2 with the Octoprint-Chituboard plugin (it has to be wired directly to the printer's motherboard, so we can't use the Octoprint Farm computer)
