I've got some round shafts today, the poor lex is on the bench
with it's guts wide open.
The motor reverses to get the paper, about 3/4 of a page, so I
think it won't be that hard.
tryed Rogers software and it looks good, Soon we will have another
video to look at.
This printer has a optic actuated by a lever paper switch, If I
hold the swith as if the paper still on the printer it keeps feeding
it. I can use that to make the head pass the build piston after done
printing and stop. then when it starts to print it will move the
printer in reverse to pick paper( spread the powder) and trigger
another switch that is the paper edge(starting position.)
Let's see if it all works.
