Could a printer be sacrificed to help? |

I think the stepper motor I am using for the brush is from a quite old IBM line-flo printer! :beer: |

I was more thinking the print head being used to outline :lol: but probably going to be slow. |

Fwiw.. Now re/painted all 240 parts for the cnc with yacht quality outdoor epoxy paint. And the outside main house door, metal, 5.6 x 2.3 m, both sides. Using a shiny, glossy, 2-part epoxy paint, and a proper 50 l low-speed conpressor, and a proper industrial paint gun. Results are absolutely fabulous. Fully automotive/yacht quality. The downside is that the paint gun was 90€, compressor 190€ on clearance sale, and the paints are 35€ each l, now about 8 l in.. Also painted the steel I beams that the new sauna will rest on, 3 coats, and they look totally fab. Foundation beams, that bolt to concrete slab via 316LSS rods and nuts. 5.8 m long x 160 mm tall, IPN profile I beams. We ground it to shiny white metal first, then painted immediately. |
