Starfield 3D has a wide range of features. In essence, the Starfield 3D is a SLA that performs 3D prints by selectively curing resin. Starfield 3D uses a laser instead of an LCD display. The 720x450x700 millimeter system is hefty at 58 kilograms. A resolution of 25 µm is advertised and the layer thickness is between 0.025 and 0.15 millimeters. The printer can produce prints up to 350x350x240 millimeters.
The 3D printer comes with an automatic refill of resin that reduces the exposure to resin by users. Moreover, the integrated air filter may also be better for users’ health. According to the manufacturers, the resin will be heated automatically.
A new innovation is the ability to cure directly in your printing room. Starfield 3D’s UV lamps are mounted on the device, so no extra device is needed. This should make the handling of the Starfield 3D much easier. According to manufacturer, the curing process only takes a couple of minutes.
Printing from memory cards is easy and convenient with the 7-inch touchscreen. The Starfield 3D is available as part of the Kickstarter Campaign for just under US$1000. The financial risks and shipping costs should be considered by potential supporters.
Since 2010, I’ve been a journalist, mainly in the technology field. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. I am also a fan of smartwatches and other wearables. As a laboratory engineer by profession, I’m familiar with both scientific contexts and the interpretation of complex measurement.
After a serious injury sustained during a football match (soccer), I was forced to live a mostly indoor life for a while. In no time I was building systems of my own. After moving to Germany in 2014, I now study philosophy and cultural anthropology. I’m fascinated by the ways in which computer technology continues to fundamentally and drastically reshape human culture.
