A project log for UVA

High-power ultraviolet flashlight for curing UV adhesive (https://bit.ly/FldRdy-DB)

As field ready states in the design brief, Standard benchtop UV cure stations cost more than a 1,000 USD. Also are highly energy demanding and are not so flexible. We are so glad to say that  we managed to address all the requirements proposed by Fielded. We design a UV wand, open source, with enough power to cure UV adhesives, flexible (considering that is a multitool kit with the possibility of design different tools for the battery pack), energy efficient. And of course, cost effective. 

The total amount that we spend in materials, components and shipping to create one unit of UVA-1 was:

203.16 $ USD

Now the specific costs of every part of the project: 

  1. PCBs fabrication                               15$ (5$ each)
    1. UVA-E-LED-1
    2. UVA-E-CPU-1
    3. UVA-E-DRV-1
  2. PCBs Shipping                                 22$ (In total)
  3. PCBs Paypal fee                                2$
  4. UVA-E-LED-1 Components          91.61$
  5. UVA-E-CPU-1 Components            7.14$
  6. UVA-E-DRV-1 Components          6.59$
  7. AZ-Delivery Oled Screen             7.36$
  8. 18650 Battery (3 cells)                34.23$        
  9. Switch TL2230                               1.12$ 
  10. ATS  Heatsink                                9.13$
  11. Battery Contacts (8)                       1.44$
  12. Wire TUOFENG (1M)                      1.40$
  13. Filament eSun (147gr)                    3.78$
  14. Electricity 2.7Kw/h (3D Printer)     0.36$
