Ink Jet 3D Printer

This looks like an interesting hack.  There are not a lot of details, but apparently there is some good information at the Yahoo DIY 3D Printing and Fabrication Group and at CandyFab.org.  It looks like a lot of work and the results are questionable, but if you’ve read any blogs here you know I never criticize people for showing early, but rough results.

It appears he uses paper sheets on the powdering tray to set the height of each pass.  Remove at sheet and the level moved down.  Great, simple, consistent idea.

See video after the jump.
