Success. I spent the last 2 days working on the HP45. Until now I spent the test connecting single pins on the HP45. I spent several hours to completely break out the HP 45 on my biggest breadboard. All grounds are connected, and all primitives and and addresses are connected (in order) to all drive...

I haven't worked on the HP45 for a while and was actually picking it up again for this week, but I am very interested. Is the Xaar 128 capable of printing conductive fluids or are water based inks and binders out of the question? With technology like this available you can make your own Objet like p...

But can you imagine how tedious that movie would have been if Tony Stark would engineer it at a normal pace. The Iron man suit would have taken years to even get a prototype.

Time for renders, the design for the legs is mostly done. All final changes will either come when I have printed up the design (like they always do) or when the changes will be made when I am making it. A quick overview of the design that is currently defined. In the armor you can see a mockup of me...

The flue season is an amazing thing isn't it?

When we reach July 21, do I need to check every now and then to make sure you're still alive? Have you informed friends and family so they won't worry too much?

Quick recap of the month of March (and some of April). Flu, sick, sick, flu, sick, unmotivated. The past month has been me doing almost nothing at all (hence the silence). I am finally feeling better, and I have been slowly picking up where I left. I will start with the power armor for several reaso...

The firmware of plan B is not in particular based on any previous firmware. Therefore, there is not something that can be easily added to add a pause function to the firmware. When writing the firmware, I tried to add a pause function. It would perfectly pause a print, but resuming it was impossible...

I did some looking up, but in Europe I cannot find them. That looks really great! All of the inkjet is already there for a powder printer. All you need now is a powder handling system and you have a piezo inkjet powder printer. Are the inks easy to swap out or are there difficult cartridges that nee...

I ordered 26 pins flat cable with headers to connect with the printhead. I had too few male to female jumper wires, but I have plenty of male to male wires. Also, I can now start on making a test circuit on a prototype board (once I know enough from testing on a breadboard). For the final controller...

That is wicked fast. Can it handle water based inks? In my knowledge not all piezo inkjets can handle conductive fluids. If it can, it is an amazing find. The flush head should make it a breeze to convert it into a powder printer. You said that they are easy to come by in the US? I cannot find them ...
