Kickstarter allows you to back a project only once, however we have teamed with BackerKit to allow backers to add additional items to their pledges. Once the campaign has ended all backers will receive an email with a link to add additional products to their pledge.

The OLO can print a single layer of a thickness of 0.035mm to 0.2mm (and of any width or length -OLO print times are independent of the XY dimensions of the object being printed) in 20-32 seconds. The time is determined by the brightness of the screen of your smartphone. For example: an iPhone 6 can print a 1cm tall object in approximately 46 minutes, or 1 inch in approximately 1 hour and 55 minutes.

No. No special chemicals are needed to clean a printed object. Just rinse your object in warm, filtered water. While the OLO completely cures the model as it prints it, a deeper, more durable cure of your model can be achieved by exposing the printed object to sunlight for 5 minutes. You can also refine the finish of your printed object by swabbing it with rubbing alcohol.

Resin durability is comparable to other standard UV resins.

Yes, print precision depends on the resolution and the contrast of your smartphone.

OLO printers work only with OLO resins. This is because we want to make sure you experience the highest quality prints using safe and tested materials.

In addition to the option of adding resins and other gear to your pledge at the end of the campaign using BackerKit (a link to which will be emailed to all backers when the campaign ends), we will also sell the resins, printers, gear, and accesories on our website. Additionally, we are currently considering other distributers for the OLO and its resins. We will keep all Kickstarter backers up to date on where they can buy resins after the Kickstarter ends.

Resin will be available for $15 per 100mL bottle (not including local taxes and import costs if applicable).

No, but we are working to make it possible in the future.

Yes, simply filter any partially hardened material and pour the resin back in the bottle.

The bottles in the video are transparent only for illustration purposes, to show the variety of colors they are available in. The actual resin will come in black bottles. Store resins in a cool, dry place.

It is best to use the resin within 1 year of purchase.

No.

Yes, the resin is light sensitive so it needs to be stored in a cool, dry place, and be kept at room temperature (50-95 degrees Fahrenheit or 10-35 degrees Celsius).

OLO tells you how much resin to pour into the printing chamber. Once you select your model for printing OLO automatically determines algorithmicly how much resin is required based on the file.

Yes. In addition to the option of adding resins and other gear individually to your pledge at the end of the campaign using BackerKit, a link to which will be emailed to all backers, we will also sell the resins, printers, gear, and accesories on our website. Additionally, we are currently considering other distributors for the OLO and its resins. We will keep all Kickstarter backers up to date on where they can buy resins after the Kickstarter ends.

Yes. OLO objects can be painted with standard acrylic-based paints.

OLO will fit phones up to the maximum dimensions of 162mm x 82mm x 10mm, or 6.37" x 3.2" x 0.39"

The case is a universal adaptor that helps the phone to remain stable, it is especially useful when the bottom of the phone is curved or if the phone's camera sits above the level of the phone's surface.

The phone must be in airplane mode, the wifi must be disconnected, and alerts must be turned off during printing.

No.

OLO will work with smartphones whose charging ports are located on the side of the device.

Yes. The smartphone must be charging while OLO is printing. There is a gap in the universal adaptor base to accommodate a cord.

Yes, OLO supports obj/stl/ply files.

No. However the the build film (a .15 mm thick film within a plastic that seals against the interior resin tank to avoid spilling) does occasionally need to be replaced. The film can be cleaned and re-used up to three times, but also thrown out and replaced after each print. Each resin bottle comes with 3 films, and more can be purchased in packs of 20 for $5 per 20-pack.

The print volume is 76mm x 128mm x 52mm or 3 x 5 x 2 inches.

Cleaning Olo is simple. First, wipe out any excess resin with a paper towel, then wipe down the interior with rubbing alcohol.

Yes.

OLO syncs with your phone via audio (20/18 kHz frequency).

No. The OLO campaign is a huge success, and we want to use all of our time and energy to fulfill our backers' expectations and ship a perfect OLO within our promised time frames.

In the next few days we will be publishing a comparison between our daylight resin and other common UV resins already on the market.

No. Our uncured resins safety and use guidelines are in line with many other 3D resins on the market. The resin is intended for ages 12 years and up. It can irritate the skin, and may cause damage if it comes in contact with the eyes. The resin is not edible and is not for use with items that come in contact with food.

While paper towels used to clean out the printer can be thrown in the garbage, resin disposal regulations vary state by state. Please check with the refuse agency in your community for proper disposal.

OLO uses sound to communicate between the printer and the phone. Because smartphones have an upward pointing earpiece which conveys sound directly to the sensor they are especially suited for this mode of communication. Other hardware systems have not been tested with OLO.

Screen protectors up to 0.2 mm thick will not affect printing. Screen protectors thicker than 0.2mm will still produce prints, but they will have poorer resolution.

OLO uses a vector based filetype to scale and correctly adjust to any size or ppi density smartphone screen. While the image projected will be the same on higher and lower resolution screens, lower resolution screens will print objects with lower definition. In other words: the higher the definition of the screen the higher the definition of the print.

Yes. OLO has a universal soft adapter which holds your phone before the printer is placed on top of it. This creates a rim which raises the body of the printer above the phone's protruding camera.

While we have not yet tested this as a feature, theoretically our web services should be able to communicate with 3rd party services via an API. We will be exploring this further and will update the campaign as we have more information. Thanks for this excellent question!

OLO requires 4 AA batteries and should be able to print about 100 times before the batteries need to be replaced. OLO will let you know if its batteries need to be replaced before you start printing.

Because lithium ion batteries are more expensive both to implement and to ship we decided to use AA batteries to keep OLO's cost down. We want to do all we can to make OLO affordable for everyone.

The build film is a 0.15mm thick film that that seals the interior resin tank to avoid spilling. The film can be cleaned and reused up to three times or it can be discarded and replaced after each printing. Each bottle of resin comes with 3 films, additional films can be purchased in packs of 20, and will cost $5 per 20-pack.

OLO uses a building film, a thin plastic sheet to seal the tank to avoid spills. These sheets can be cleaned and re-used up to three times before being replaced. Each bottle of resin comes with three films and additional films can be purchased in packs of 20, and will cost $5 per 20-pack.

Yes! We will be uploading more pictures and videos soon. We will post an update to the site when they are added.

No. OLO is using Amazon and Google servers.

While you will need to set up an account, OLO's app will always be free.

Yes, OLO's app will be always free. Some 3rd party 3D libraries may be available for purchase at a later date.

Once you have selected a model that you would like to print from within the app it will be sent as an STL file to our cloud servers. There, it will be processed into the individual layers required to create the model. It is then converted into a .olo file, a vector layer file format with a synchronized audio component. It is a small file is only about 1/6 the size of a normal STL file. This file is then downloaded from the servers and saved locally on the phone. The phone must have notifications turned off, disconnected from wifi, and be placed in Airplane Mode so as not to cause interruptions to the print job. Then the printing begins!

Due to the amazing success of OLO's Kickstarter campaign, we want to focus all of our efforts on ensuring we deliver the best product we can, and in the time frame we've promised. As a result, we have decided to push back the launch for OLO TAB, the tablet version of the OLO, for a pre-release date of March 2017.

OLO will be shipping from three regional locations:

USA: Our regional center in the USA will ship to the USA, Canada, and Latin America.
ITALY: Our regional center in Italy will ship to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa
JAPAN: Our regional center in Japan will ship to Asia and Australia

No! OLO uses a universal adapter, a frame in which you place your phone and upon which the printer is placed. This creates a sort of "mini darkroom" to ensure that the only light that reaches the resin will be the light coming from the screen of your smartphone. There is a small gap in the adapter frame that allows you to run a power cord to your phone during printing.

No. OLO is not compatible with smartphones with curved screens, and will not be able to produce prints using them.

All designs will be stored on a secure 3rd party server.

There will be 4 settings for sharing or restricting your uploaded designs:
Private: only you are able to access your design.
Group: you and a group of users specified by you are able to access the model.
Public: all OLO users will be able to access you design for free
Revenue: your model is visible to everyone but is only downloadable by users who pay to use your design.

Yes! OLO will soon be able to print without using the cloud servers. Due to overwhelming demand we are developing standalone software for printing models directly to OLO with your smartphone. This means that you will be able to print without an Internet connection, and it ensures you will be able to use OLO even if you are not able to reach our servers. You will still need to connect to our servers in order to browse models in our library or share your models with other OLO users,

We have 8 different OLO resins available to allow you to print models in a variety of textures and colors. All of our resins come in 100mL bottles, which will retail for $15 each. OLO will only support our OLO resins because we want to ensure you will be able to print high quality models from tested resins optimized for printing with OLO, and compatible with the OLO app's printing calculations.

White 80 Solid Poly Resin.
Prints hard models in white with a matte finish, similar to PMMA.

Black 80 Solid Poly Resin.
Prints hard models in black with a matte finish, similar to PMMA.

Red 60 Poly Resin.
Prints flexible (but not elastic-like) models in red with a matte finish, similar to ABS.

Yellow 60 Poly Resin.
Prints flexible (but not elastic-like) models in yellow with a matte finish, similar to ABS.

Blue 60 Poly Resin.
Prints flexible (but not elastic-like) models in blue with a matte finish, similar to ABS.

Wax 30 Poly Resin.
Prints models in a material similar to hard wax in a matte grey, fusible material. This resin is designed to be used to create molds which can then be used for precious metals like gold and silver in a process known as lost wax casting.

Clear 50 Poly Resin.
Prints soft and flexible translucent models with a glossy finish, similar to soft PVC.

Soft 30 Poly Resin.
Prints elastic-like models in a shiny, slightly translucent, amber color, similar to silicone.

Several additional resins are currently in development, including:

- Faster curing resins which will shorten the amount of time it takes to print a model.
- More colors! We will be adding more colors to the OLO resin line, based on your feedback. Please send us a message or post to the comments with your requests!
- Mixable resins to create your own colors. We are working on making our resins mixable so you can blend your own custom colors.

No, these pledge rewards do not include an OLO printer. Each of the pledge rewards give you a choice of resin packs, after the campaign ends you will be able to specify which resin pack you'd like.

The $133 "RESIN 8-PACK" does not include a printer, it includes a pack of eight bottles of resin. You can choose the Complete Set (which includes one bottle of each of our 8 types of resin), or the Modeler Set (which includes 4 bottles of White 80, and one bottle of each of Wax 60, Black 80, Clear 50, and Soft 30 Resins). Neither set includes a printer.

The $103 "RESIN 6-PACK" does not include a printer, it includes a pack of six bottles of resin. You can choose between the Dental Set (which includes 3 bottles of White 80, and one bottle each of Red 60, Wax 60, and Soft 30), or the Rainbow Set (which includes two bottle of white 80 and one bottle each of red 60, yelow 60, blue 60, black 80). Neither set includes a printer.

The $73 "RESIN 4-PACK" does not include a printer, it includes a pack of four bottles of resin. You can choose between the ARCHI Set (which includes 2 bottles of White 80, one bottle of Black 80 and one bottle of Clear 50), the STAMP set (which includes 3 bottles of Soft 30 and one bottle of White 80), the EDU set (which includes one bottle each of White 80, Clear 50, Wax 60, and Soft 30), or the GOLDSMITH set (which includes 3 bottles of Wax 60 and one bottle of White 80). None of these sets includes a printer.

The resins will sell individually for $15 for a 100mL bottle. The pledge reward includes the price of shipping which is why a gift pack costs more than the bottles would individually.
