Hi all,
Recently solicited to take part to this cnc community, I would like to show you the machine I built. It is basically a router with a rotating head and four brush-tipped syringes that are lowered by a Z-axis. Please see attached pictures and follow the link below to see a short video of the machine at work:

I will appreciate any comment/suggestion ...
Thank you.

That's very impressive! Is the rotating head commercial or did you design and build this yourself?

I personally devised and built the painting head mostly by trial and error. To change any of the four colors I just give the right angular G-code to the step motor and it turns 90/180/270/360 degrees, then to make the syringe go down I give an M3 command to the motor pushing the piston low. Consider that control and timing is accomplished with a microprocessor. See picture for more details.
The whole thing is still work in progress and improvements are on the way.
I want to get to the point of selling my art work.
Thats a CRAZY and COOL creation!!!! I like it!!!
What kind of inches per minute was it running at in the video? Looked very fast.
The video was accelerated at times, but the machine paints at 2500mm/min(about 100 inches/min) and does rapids at 7500mm/min. I tried to make it paint faster but it gets too jerky and the painting loses fidelity.
This reminds me of the crazy wheel driven gantry with a spray gun someone started to build. I don't remember who though...

andreas2,
Good job on your machine.
I thought about doing something like you have.
Keep up the good work!

For everyone who has produced a product, alot of others will have roughly the same idea. I described this to my wife last month while we were working on some business ideas.
Good job!

True.
Thank you Switcher and Svenakela!
Interesting what you found... I imagine the fun of having a machine like the one of VacPress (with my painting head instead) moving around my studio doing art on the floor!
