They can only be fired once every 800us.<br /><br />The main bottleneck right now is the stepper motors. If they are driven much faster they lose steps. The current stepper motors are very low torque and the drivers only handle 0.5amp. These two factors lead to the head only being fired about once every 8000us.Nicholas C.

Is it something that could be fixed with a different cartridge or faster microcontroller?SBlaszakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902262632062377056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401243262874707756.post-65463499293202040042011-06-02T21:50:36.585-07:002011-06-02T21:50:36.585-07:00@eddywahyu, I am not sure what you are asking but ...@eddywahyu, I am not sure what you are asking but there is very detailed documentation here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8542Nicholas C.
