Well, I will start this blog with short introduction: My name is Junior (actually is not but as I have the same name as my father I kind of adopted this name because it was easy to differentiate when my mom was screaming at me or my father).
When I was very young (maybe 5 years old) I started opening everything with a screwdriver... after X'mas when kids were playing with their toys, I was opening my toys to understand how they work...
Most of the times I was able to assemble it back... but always was not able to find a place for all screws... :)
At age of 12 I built my own gasoline motorized bicycle...
Ok, let’s keep this short.
I start thinking on 3d Printing many years ago when I saw a video of the first SLAs, quite nice, but too expensive for me. So I have been working in some ideas. For few months last year I worked in a Powder printer, using a HP DeskJet and powder. I did manage to control the printer and create a flatbed printer but the powder is an issue, where I live the humidity is over 80% in average and powder become stone overnight.
So I gave up… I was planning to build something with plastic similar to Makerbot http://makerbot.com/ but I was looking for some ideas to improve the resolution… and I think I found the right solution that I expect to share here.
Ok, few things before we start:
- The ideas here were not tested by me before, so if you going to try it will be by your own risk. I do not guarantee the results.
- As I am quite busy in my work I do not guarantee when I will be able to post new things.
Cheers,
Jr
