• Ilios HD Complete Kit

    Get the best equipment for your application with an affordable price. Begin building mechanically accurate and highly detailed objects in no time.

    The Ilios HD Kit was initially designed for mechanical applications, where precision and reliability matters the most. In its assembled form it can produce stunning results with the help from its highly accurate motion construction and electronics. The Ilios project utilizes the technique of Stereo-lithography or SLA as it is commonly known. The build uses photo reactive resin, which is cured when light is projected on it. The lifting platform, lifts each layer of the model and finalizes with a complete product at the end of the build. One of the benefits this technique has is the highly detailed result, which simply cannot be matched by machines that use plastic extrusion methods. Additionally there is a large selection of materials that can be used, which simulate results such as ABS, Rubber and many others, combined with a color mixture of your choice, in both Opaque and Translucent options.

  • FliteTest Interview

    FliteTest was kind enough to talk to Demetris (Creator of the OSRC System) about the features of the system and at the same time answer some of the questions that were gathered throughout the RC community. Chad and Josh talk about features such as RF Cloud, modularity of the whole system and why it was important to have these and many other unique features in a single project.

    Although the video does not fully explain all features, it gives a great opportunity to meet Demetris and get an overall idea about the history of the project and its future through the eyes of the creator.

    Feel free to browse through other videos on the OSRC YouTube channel to find out more about the system or head to the Forum with your own questions or suggestions.

    Don't forget to check out the OSRC Facebook site as well, where many news and daily updates take place while working on different features of the system. Post your comments there as well, like the site and contribute to the effort.



  • Detailed Description

    In this video the designer of the OSRC (Open Source Remote Control) system goes through all major features and talks about the benefits they hold. The video was mainly created to address most of the questions that gathered through the OSRC as well as other forums, comments on YouTube, E-mails and other social media.

    Although it was impossible to describe the entire system in a single video, most functions, hardware accessories and the over all details are described in this presentation, giving a more complete understanding of how the OSRC system works and why it is important.

    You can read more about specifications and features each module of the system has in the Products section of the website. For more videos don't hesitate to visit the OSRC YouTube channel.

    Seasons ModelAt-last, the hard part is behind us. The Ilios machine produced its first results. The initial build, seen in this image was a test not only for the functionality of the machine but also for its endurance since during the build there were lots of tests done, like adding weights to the build lift, messing with the motors and doing stress tests while the machine was working.

    Lovingly holding on to my creationFinally after many days in testing and development i can now proudly say that our Ilios HD machine is working. Although the last component for our first build hasn't arrived yet (PDMS for the Vat surface), all mechanics operate flawlessly and i even did a test print with the projector setup mentioned in our Facebook page.

2 - Top Frame Assembly

Share

In this part of our assembly, we shall be putting together the top frame portion of the Ilios machine. this is the part on which the rest of the components sit, sot it is important we do this right and won't have the hustle of redoing it once we realize that something was done incorrectly. The main feature that shall help you in putting everything together, is the position of the holes on each part. Note the holes on the images and make sure yours face the same way.

Step 1  

1 x Top Frame Back

1 x Top Frame Front

1 x Top Frame Right

1 x Top Frame Left

1 x Nuts & Bolts Bag
 Make sure that you have everything, as shown on the image above. You shall need these items to go through this part of the assembly, so it is important you find and place in front of you the above parts and tools.  
Step 2  
Before we begin bolting everything together, we need to add the four (4) Oval Slide nuts to the slots as shown. These have to go to the Left and Right parts of the frame (on the top slot). These nuts have a 5mm thread (important to note and not confuse with the 6mm thread) and shall hold the motion framing later on. Add the same 4 nuts, included in the associated bag to the right side as well. Note the labels that are attached to each part. It is important to add these nuts now, since later on, these parts shall be bolted together and we won't be able to slide them in.
Step 3  
In the bag with the nuts and bolts for this part of the assembly, you shall find two types of the same 10mm bolt. There should be a normal bolt and one with a shorter head and length. Each corner requires 1 of each type. Note the orientation of each bolt and which one goes where. The normal one should be facing downwards and eventually shall connect the feet to this part of the frame. The shorter bolt needs to go first, to connect each side of this frame.
First we take the shorter bolts, to connect each side of the Top Frame. It is important that this bolt goes in first. Join the Left and Front sides first and then the Back and Right. These bolts might take some effort to get tighten but make sure they are in all the way, before going any further.
The finished frame should look like the picture above. Once again, make sure that Left is on your Left and Back is in the Back since this shall help you later on with the rest of the assembly. Take the Longer "normal" bolts and guide them through the part. Make sure these bolts go all the way in, since it shall make your life easier later on when assembling the feet of the machine and this frame portion.
Step 4  
Before continuing, make sure all four bolts for the feet, are all the way through and that the frame it self is tight and secure and is being held firmly by the shorter bolts, inserted earlier. Begin with the Left Feet assembly and align as well as tighten the bolts, while holding the assemblies as shown in the image. They should stay relatively steady once you center the bolts and start threading them in.
Use the longer part of the Allen Key to make your life easier. Set included with the kit was specifically selected with extra long ends for this task and the keys are not cheap and should fit tightly within each bolt. Once this part of the assembly is complete, go through all the bolts and tighten them once again (not too tight though, not to deform the parts them selves or strip the threads) so that this part of the assembly is firm and ready to hold the rest of the machine. Note again the orientation of all parts ans especially the holes, as shown in the picture. It is important that the holes orientation is exactly as in the picture above.
Step 5  
In the bag you shall find plastic caps, which go on each side of the frame. They are decorative but also help protect the internals of the joints, plus it looks much better with them :) You shall need 4 caps for this part of the assembly.

Place each cap as shown on the picture above. They are not very flexible, so make sure to tap them with a mallet or your hand to completely become flush with the assembly.

Congrats! This is starting to look more and more like a machine. But it also looks like a nice table or a chair :) No worries however, it shall begin to look more like a 3D printer once we start adding more serious components on it.

Demitris,

Step 2 says to place 6 oval slide nuts per site. The picture shows 4, and the bag also contains 2x4 oval slide nuts.

Guess it needs to be 4.

Axel.

Sorry, place 4. I was a bit tired when i wrote the instructions. Everything seemed double :) You need only 4 on each side. 2 for each corner bracket (later on) Will fix it now. Tnx for pointing it out.
