On the new Peachy Printer board. It looks like the dripper system has a built in simple but very effective siphon in the dripper system to drain the salt water

yes the way we have arranged the hoses solves many problems
by learning a simple sequence of plugging hoses and reservoir positions the new drip bubler system dose all of the following:
- you can start the dripper by squeezing the bottle
- you can start lower the water level by squeezing the bottle and placing the upper reservoir below the printer.
- the siphon hose that lowers the water to in order to reset the rprinter for a new print will automatically loose siphon at the correct height to start a print.
- if all hose heights are properly maintained resin will not be picked up an brought to the upper reservoir.
- The top resivour has a lid so its harder to spill
- the driper is now an open air design so it is very easy to clean ( salt crystals will build up on the dripper)
- the drip bubler system ensures a steady pressure to the dripper so if you start a print at 5 drips per second, it will hold that drip rate for the duration of the print.
- pausing a print is as easy as its always been you just crimp a hose.
-a water flow resistor in the hoses make is possible to change the drip rate from .5 drip per second to 8 drips per second by changing the height of the upper reservoir by just a few inches.
- an air flow resistor makes the size of the bubbles smaller ensuring a very smooth flow rate to the dripper.
The post linked to above is a very ruff draft of the instructions on how to use the dripper and how it works. more work will be done on it soon.

Yes printing some would be my choice and was looking but with a ridged resin this style would not work so I am looking at some other designs. Also I was throwing it out there more for the customers to see other options, I agree that keeping the initial price as low as possible is a top priority.
