- atroll 9y agoAwesome gadget man! So how does it work? Can you give us a detailed answer.
- DonHopkins 9y agoWill you develop a noir cartridge for making beautiful black and white error diffusion dithered animated gifs? https://media.giphy.com/media/l0K7o6Tn4JsJtvDMc/giphy.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/l0K7o6Tn4JsJtvDMc/giphy.gif https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=40832.msg1124342#msg1124342 https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=40832.msg112434...
- abhi3188 9y agocould easily be programmed in. I was already thinking of experimenting with filters.. printing a black case to go with it shouldnt be a problem
- foobarge 9y agoThe print could have buttons to trigger different filters.
- abhi3188 9y agoyes I was thinking of experimenting with filters. I decided not to add more buttons since it is a touchscreen and it made more sense to program in an interface when needed rather than set it in stone through hardware
- nielsbot 9y agoWhat about printing little flip books? :) Cool project in any case.
- abhi3188 9y agowould have to invent a high speed mini printer for that.. next project perhaps :)
- 6nf 9y agoWhat's the cheapest you could make the cartridges assuming mass-production?
- abhi3188 9y agohavent worked that out, would probably need to get in touch with a manufacturer for assuming it's atleast 1/4th of what it is now, perhaps $20. Perhaps even less
- harryh 9y agoHow much time did it take you to make this from start to finish? The breadth of skills needed to do this all yourself is quite impressive!
- abhi3188 9y agothanks! it took me about 4 weeks once I started building.. many nights prior to that just lying in bed planning and visualizing
- wruza 9y agoI noticed that you don't have to wave it few times before the image appears. That's really cool, but also must be hard to implement. How did you do that, sort of built-in dryer?
- throwawaybbq1 9y agoCool project! The part that I was fascinated by was not the electronics but the physical design and manufacture. It is very impressive! Would love it if you go into details .. what 3D printer, post-processing, software tools used, etc.
- abhi3188 9y agoHey I've detailed all the steps in the album. Used a projet 7000 3D printer, post processing involves UV curing and removing the support(this was handled by the print company). I then dry sanded, wet sanded, painted, wet sanded. Modeled in fusion 360
- PikelEmi 9y agoAwesome work you did there!
- ezequiel-garzon 9y agoAmazing work, this and the rest of your stuff! Have you written about it on shek.it? I can't find an entry for it.
