:-) I hope you recognize the irony here...
You claim to be the victim of fraud, essentially the same as Rylan. You express frustration and disappointment the same as Rylan. In fact,...
I don't think that's a fair assessment. I know lots of people lost money, myself included, but that's not an excuse to vilify Rylan.
His actions were based on legal advice at each step. The advice...
Another thing that might be even better is this:...
Hehe. I don't think it's going to be that heavy, but it certainly won't float. ;-)
I don't know the answer, but maybe someone does; is the object being printed less dense than water? Given a salt...
I don't know how much the chicken wire costs, probably much less than this, but depending on the size of print it might work. ..

Yeah. Stepper pumps are a bit more. However, I was thinking that it could be possible to use a stepper like this for $5:

There are chips to control it, as...
Yeah. That kind of control is what I am going for.
I would definitely go with a stepper, or buy the DC motor version and convert it to using a stepper.
I was thinking of using a peristaltic pump to control liquid height, rather than the drip. That also means that I can raise and lower the water level at will. So my thought was to run cycles where I...
I kinda find it funny how many people whine about the length of time these things take to finish, when they have no clue about the hardships experienced in the process of actually doing it.
It...
What about capacitance sensing? It seems like the proper application of conductors along the side of the printed tank should have a capacitance that changes with the increase in water. If they could...
So, after looking around a bit, I think it is possible to have something land in the $50 range as an add-on with a motor and pump. That would make it a ~$150 kit instead of $100. Still, I...
Wow, I like the ideas presented in this thread. One thing I can't help but consider is that the peristaltic pump could be modified to use a stepper motor and we could eliminate the need for drips...
