Re: Ithaca POSJet 1500
Not bad for Python in general ;-) No, seriously, great job. Did you make roll own electronics? Or is this with some included interface? This is using the default interface electronics. Ithaca is pretty well documented - I'm making good progress. Working on my slicer software now. The more interesti...

Re: Ithaca POSJet 1500
Picture of the carriage motion of the Ithaca POSJet 1500: IMG_0858.JPG Although only one ink cartridge is installed, both cartridges are fully wired up. The drive is classic stepper motor, with a optical endstop. For a mini-powder printer, this looks ideal. For a large format printer, the mechanical...

Re: Ithaca POSJet 1500
POSJet 1500 ordered, and on its way. I'll post a tear-down of the print engine once I get it. Should be interesting. Also, I've ordered a EPSON CMY label printer (OEM version of the TM-C610), which will be a more difficult hack to get working, but it's piezo ink tank-based print engine may be more u...

Re: Hacking the HP45
Thanks for the link to the 'sandbox' printer.
I have a powder handling subsystem from an old laser printer (used to move toner to a waste bin) that I could use for a similar design - very inspiring!

Re: Ithaca POSJet 1500
And speaking of printheads: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/ads/officejet-pro-printers/officejet-x-series.html HP's PageWide inkjets are tank-based, durable heaters, and prints the whole page in one pass. _That_ is the tech they are putting in their 3D printers. Which means they have a resin formulation th...

Re: Ithaca POSJet 1500
UV resin on powder - that's the HP 3D printing technology.

Re: The T60 power armor
The 'ZP-150' is kind of a joke.
Plaster of Paris and two nesting cardboard tubes as a form would be sufficient.

Ithaca POSJet 1500
Cruising through eBay, I noticed that the "Ithaca POSJet 1500" seems to be available as a 2-pen device (HP C6602A, just like the InkShield), USB port, and with an 'All Points Addressable' graphics mode - for about $50-$100 shipped. Programming manual available at: http://www.transact-tech....

Re: Hacking the HP45
I would suggest tying all the 'unused' addresses and primitives to their off state (Vcc, right?)
They could be leaking to ground if untied.
