I am willing, within reason, to consider collecting and
"kitting" the parts for the E260 conversion. One problem is
shipping a 2 foot long x 6 inch wide piece of sheet aluminum. In order
for me to spend that much time and energy on this I would have to make a
profit. Also, we now have 2 versions to consider. I'm not really keen on
making money from hobbyists, especially those on this group, but I would
be providing a service for something that I have, in fact, told you how
to do yourself. So I really don't feel too badly about asking $100 USD
per kit for the mechanical version and $150 USD for the MCU version, not
including shipping. Shipping will be at cost.
I also have a couple of modified machines that I am interested in
selling. It's very hard for me to put a price on these machines, but $250
USD seems about right, considering how much time I have spent on each
one.
I guess I might as well go all-in and offer to convert these printers for
anyone who wants to ship me one for conversion. $175 USD for the
conversion, parts included, plus shipping. Either version.
Again, I want to stress that I am happy to provide gratis, as
always, all the information and help anyone wants.�

Sign me up for a conversion service. The printer is currently in shipment to me, but I will ship to you as soon as it arrives. Please contact me at jwoodcogmailcom to arrange the details!! Thanks much for offering this service!!!!!!

Mark,
In light of your kit offer, I should clarify my request for a kit,
as I was only thinking of a MCU PCB parts kit (with perhaps the MCU
only pre-installed?). I can modify the printer without problems, and
if I could get the PCB, or MCU & PCB as a parts kit, I could
assemble it if not surface mounted components. I just placed a
McMaster-Carr order, and I noted that in your list, 6"x24"x.016
Aluminum Sheet (89015K17) is actually 48", and should be
(89015K114
) for 24".
Thanks,
Roger

Roger,
You are correct on the part # - the one I bought is 48 inches, but
you only need 12".
I can supply a PCB and I'll be happy to mount the smt parts, but you can
easily do it yourself. Say $25 usd, including shipping to the US for pcb,
mounted and programmed ATtiny13 and resistor and cap. Do you have the
sensor?

Mark,
I suspected that 12" might be enough, but thought a spare might be a
good idea. I have the hardware and sensor coming. I have a lot of
through hole soldering experience, but none on SMT, so perhaps its
about time I give that a try on this. How much for just the PCB and
its components? And can you program the MCU off-board prior to
soldering to the PCB? (I had hoped to keep the cost of this project
as a DIY at under $100, but so far I have $40 for the printer, and
$50 in parts with the PCB and its components still outstanding...)

I can see that shipping
that aluminium sheet might be problematic for those of us living
internationally. Maybe the aluminium sheet could be left for the
builder to source locally?

Roger,
It is possible to program smt chips before mounting them, but the zif
socket is a bit pricey. What I usually do is provide pads for a header to
program the chip in-circuit. I'll be a sport and send you the pcb with a
mounted and programmed mcu for the $10 you have left. Send me $10 via
Paypal, or a check and I'll get it out to you. I'll throw in postage if
you're in the US.

2014-08-18 by Mark Lerman
The schematic and source file is in the files section of the group, as is
a drawing of the pcb. It is extremely simple and would only take a little
work to replicate. Unfortunately the schematic is a drawing only, it
cannot be used to create a board. I do have the board in Eagle format and
would be happy to post it or send it to anyone who wants it.

I now found it at May 1 2010 mark_from_pomona. I was looking for a later folder with Mark Lerman; my bad!

I think you have done a fantastic service to us all.
I have often thought about DLP but have always had too much other stuff on the go.
I looked at your source code and thought it wonderful to see someone else use assembler language.
There are not many of us who do. I always find it interesting to look how another person attacks the code and puts it together. I know for me that I get set in my ways and always repeat what has worked for me in the past, Its interesting to see another flow.
Anyway great work and I will sometime in the future give your DLP a go. I have quite a lot of Photo sensitive board still in stock so I will use them up first.
Thanks for your dedication

I've always programmed in assembler. Actually I learned programming in
machine language following a Heathkit learning module. They used Motorola
mcus.

past, Its interesting to see another flow.
Anyway great work and I will sometime in the future give your DLP a go. I
have quite a lot of Photo sensitive board still in stock so I will use
them up first.
Thanks for your dedication

Interested in making one of these units but having difficulty tracking down any printers.Found a couple in Townsville but they weren't prepared to post down to Bundy.
Any ideas where I might have better luck?
Tried Craigs list, Ebay and Gumtree.

Hi Jorgo,
I managed to score a secondhand one yesterday on ebay for $50. I have to drive to North Ryde (Sydney) to pick it up.
I was wondering where you are planning to get the other parts (steel rod, collars, spacers, copper tape etc ) from. Do you know of any suppliers in Australia or international ones who will ship to Australia for a reasonable price?
Regards
Austin

Hi Austin,
I'm still in the process of trying to track down a printer.
No luck so far.
At this stage I haven't considered the materials but usually not a problem as I have a stock of all kinds of materials as I do model engineering here as well as electronics etc.
What I can't find I usually make my own.
Over the years found a good source in old printers and scanners (commercial types) which we stripped and saved many parts.
Mark may have a suggestion on the copper tape if you drop him a line.
Cheers ..Jorgo

Mark,
Do you have any pcb printers for sale. Not as kit but a completed conversion?

I am willing, within reason, to consider collecting and
"kitting" the parts for the E260 conversion. One problem is
shipping a 2 foot long x 6 inch wide piece of sheet aluminum. In order
for me to spend that much time and energy on this I would have to make a
profit. Also, we now have 2 versions to consider. I'm not really keen on
making money from hobbyists, especially those on this group, but I would
be providing a service for something that I have, in fact, told you how
to do yourself. So I really don't feel too badly about asking $100 USD
per kit for the mechanical version and $150 USD for the MCU version, not
including shipping. Shipping will be at cost.
I also have a couple of modified machines that I am interested in
selling. It's very hard for me to put a price on these machines, but $250
USD seems about right, considering how much time I have spent on each
one.
I guess I might as well go all-in and offer to convert these printers for
anyone who wants to ship me one for conversion. $175 USD for the
conversion, parts included, plus shipping. Either version.
Again, I want to stress that I am happy to provide gratis, as
always, all the information and help anyone wants.
Mark

If you ask me if it can be done. The answer is YES, it can always be done. The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will it take?

Hello Mark
I am about to embark on building your design.... I too am having problems finding E260's that are "reasonably" priced... I have however found a E360. I see hints to it here but is it any different than the E260....
Also do you make, program and sell the MCU board?
Thanks
Tom
