Gantry Inkjet printer

[@TengizAdamashvili]

Finally someone is working on open-source 2d-printers. I thought this day would never come. Next step is open source cartridges that can print with any ink

[@jannebengtsson7338]

Agreed. It's crazy that it's 2022 and there is no real "good" option for 2d printing

[@davidbinenfeld489]

I wanted to try this because im aiming at making a polyjet printer, basically stacking inkjet layers in 3d but i cant find a way to control an inkjet printhead

[@TengizAdamashvili]

@@davidbinenfeld489 how do you stack up liquid ink ?

[@MatrixRay19]

@@TengizAdamashvili it's not really ink, it's a binding agent that reacts to the powder on the print surface, either that or the other way around regarding which is the binder but anyways

[@TengizAdamashvili]

@@MatrixRay19 sounds viscous, I thought each printer head can only dispense a very particular type of ink

[@98f5]

PERFECT now let's add some UV lights and some resin for the ink and get to fusion jetting.

Thought there was a diy crowd around the DTG (direct to garment) printing scene? Great project though and surprised that it hasn't been seriously taken up before.

Great job. Thanks for joining with us.

I loved it I have a project in the same line of reasoning

This could be really good for sheet metal fabrication layout if information was provided to the public.

I've always printed to paper a 1:1 drill and cut guide that I glued to the sheets, but now that I've got a 3D printer, I'm gonna do all the stuff I need with a plotter instead: adding a pen to the head. It's quite easy and really convenient for this application.

@@Kalvinjj Professor Parabellum guns are made that way. Fun fact. Anyone that can print on paper can make a submachine gun...

[@theminiyosshi2901]

Wait “inkjet” is a real thing?

[@onyxg7171]

Would you be interested in making the pip boy 2000 from fallout 76

[@snakemystic]

great

[@coppulor6500]

simply stunned this kind of thing is not readily available. I don't want to deal with a laser engraver and painting the letters for what I need. Just want to print it on wood. wtf is that so hard
