Re: Hacking the HP45

I have a question for those who have gotten the printhead to function properly. I am having few problems with getting the printhead to function as it should. While debugging I noticed that the nozzles are getting really hot to the touch (probably over 50°C). Is this normal or did anyone else encount...

Re: Hacking the HP45

The ciss for the cartridge can be made at home. I have calculated that the pressure in hp45 (if i have measured everything corectly) that the spring makes is equal to about 3cm of liquid.
