This project is a printer made of Lego Mindstorms EV3 set
In order to run this project you obviously need to build your own lego printer. It does not need to be identical to mine, but they must share some features, described below: TODO
Assembling instructions: TODO
Python scripts load an input file, change its resolution, reduce the number of colors to 2 (single pen) or 6 (5 pens) and finally print it.
- python
- ev3dev library
Use this instruction to set everything up:
TODO
- Paper format: A5
- Output resolution: 150 x 180
- Number of colors in basic mode: 2 (pen color + background).
- Number of colors in multicolor mode: 6 (5 pens + background). Multi-pass printing with manual pen switching.
- Semi-automatic calibration
Sample printouts:
- Resolution increased to 300 x 360
- Multicolor printing with any number of pens.
- Improved accuracy
The project is in progress.
