Pretty slick, you have way too much free time on your hands.

It was probably Pierre saying that he wouldn't recommend anyone try a DIY set up. I always like a challenge. Nah not going to sell plans. I'll answer any questions if people want to build their own!
That is so cool.What is your LPI in the photo?Unbelievable.

It could be better in a Version 2. I was hoping for Starlight level results, but in the end it's about the same as my 5k Olec. UV meter is probably not a bad idea. If it were accurate enough to see if my row spacing is correct. Still thinking a lower UV range LED might be the ticket to a hotter exposure. Or maybe even a blend of two different UV range strips in an alternating row setup.I think I'm at about $250 investment. The goal here, worst case, was to have a usable backup in case the 5k Olec breaks. Best case it would replace the Olec. Right now I'm using it for all screens and will continue to play with timing and see how the screens hold up to waterbased with the SP1400 and no other treatment/hardeners. I don't typically do long run WB/discharge, largest is around 250 pieces coming up next week, but I'll give it a go and should at least be able to see some break down or softness at the end if it's a bad exposure.
Now keep in mind, your hero status with me is good for a period of 1 week. That being said, in my most intelligent and influential Pierre voice/post- "it would be nearly impossible and unlikely someone could make a D.I.Y. DTS unit." Now some may call that a challenge.....;)

Sure enough people started making them and some were pretty decent to boot.
