I question whether or not it is worth using 24V motors on a project.
Maybe a small gantry machine ?

I did find something very interesting in the dissassembly thought.

There are two heads. one for the part and one for support. I assume
the support is everything else....

the systems looks like it heats the ink and then blows it to the head.
nut sure as I never saw it work.

the tube from the head is wrapped in a heat tape and has a thermistor
and is heat controlled.

The head looks like it has it's own heater and another 2 wires.

I assume the material is blown to the head where the head operates a
piezo element that blows the material into the chamber.

Anyone know how these prototye machines work ?

I wonder if I could resurect one head and use it to print PCB's ?
