Heres the shuttle i built tonite. It has 8 rollerblade bearings. they are on 1/4" threaded rod, which allows for a bit of adjustment if you dont mind ocasionally having to retighten the things.

Very cool... I was wondering if you could use a print head from an HP color printer. Something like that.. Just an idea... I dont think an injector will work as the one I have seen have more then one hole in them.. Also most injectors on have 14 lb of fuel pressure on them.. There in a regulator that takes the 70-120 lb of fuel down.. the high pressure is so that there will always be more fuel then needed. That’s why there is a return line to the gas tank.

Hi all

has anyone progressed withthe development of the sofware to drive the cnc painter?

regards peter

peter,

sort of. there was considerable work put into a perl script that would use the GD graphics library and 'vectorize' raster artwork. The script then advanced a set number of steps and places another row of 'pixels', then does it again on the next row. This is like a dot matrix printer, only on a extremely different scale.

recently i have been working on an HPGL driver for it, so it would just use any vector-art program.. however, in general, this project is stalled out..

why do you ask?

Any more on the progress here??
