Epson Piezo Hack
Hi, I'm Dave, a non-scientist that would love to learn more about science and biology. I'm a TechShop member and am clear to use almost every tool there, except for textiles work. If your timelines are flexible (my schedule is flexible), I might be able to help out here and there. Software-wise, aren't you still going to need something custom? The last inkjet I owned would spit the paper out completely after a print job. Porrino Preludio Aria Et Scherzo Pdf Printer.
Would feeding the same sheet through the printer cause problems, i.e. Damage the printed material? Can anyone elaborate on the 'printing stage' that is referenced in this document? Is is the standard inkjet platform with rollers, or is this stage a custom piece that someone has already made?
Piezo systems use piezoelectric elements ('piezo elements') that contract under an applied voltage to eject the ink. Thermal systems heat the ink to cause it to bubble out. Epson's PrecisionCore printheads are a piezo system.
Dave I just joined Tech Shop San Jose too, the tools at BioCurious are a little different but I like having access to both, I view them as complimentary sets. Also materials to try printing for our 4th color in beta should be a restriction enzyme or protein? PCR fluid) Hardware hacks to override the print feed rollers. I got distracted in another conversation but on the model we viewed it seemed like the only feedback to the spooling drives was a optical sensor on the edge. I believe if we remove most of this stuff but leave that drive shaft spinning it will bypass the feed mechanisms for however we want to modify it. Bosch Dmo 10 E Manual For Canon.
I believe Patrik already demonstrating bypassing the safety overrides. Anything beyond single sheets assembled together manually offline will require some 'modification' on this system.
To facilitate sheet assembly registration we could use standard hole placements on the sheets (paper, film or 'pre-forms'). Rotary feeding, transport and handling are one of my specialties. I'm sure there is another safety related to paper jams that we can bypass to enable printing longer sheets than standard A4 paper size. As is we could technically get up to 8.5'x14 sheets by changing the sheet size in adobe's print spool (or 11x17 if we get a wide format one). There is quite possibly already a paper bypass path which is almost straight through the machine, its less common on desktop but a larger one would certainly have this.
The other way to override the existing paper feed will require some sort of sliding cover to move a dish or cartridge through the printer (ie using these same feed rollers to convey a tray).

Which would certainly be more involved with a major overhaul plus tertiary motor and new software drivers. Little easier with arduino perhaps as long as we can find a way to 'free' the existing inkjet head and/or X axis assembly. Thanks to the internet we don't really need to call epson and have them try to sick a cease and descist on us when they realize the market potential of what we're trying to do.
