Hint: it’s probably what you think, and it’s constrained to fit on existing electronics boards without additional firmware hacks or electronics. Should work on a RAMPS, Replicape, Due, etc. as long as you have 1 stepper & 2 servo outputs free.
Hoping to have a functional prototype beginning assembly in another 2 weeks or so
It’s obvious. On top is a MIDI connector. In The middle you have the piezoelectric element. And on the bottom I clearly see a single-needle micro engraver.
So you can engrave audio-tracks into any 3D-printed object. With a little bit of imagination everything is possible. You should make a kick-starter project out of this. Greetings
@Ben_Verdel haha, yeah ok. It’s a multi material for single nozzle printers that’s not using 3 steppers like Prusa’s, using a single stepper and 2 servos. Most boards support that as extra when configured for a single nozzle printer, and this let’s you use standard gcode as part of your slicer, instead of extra electronics and custom firmware mods. Doesn’t have extra filament sensors, but can’t have everything…
