Replacing parts (part of the Full CAD)

I know a lot of the parts may break, especially the nozzles which can be faulty, but you should be able to find replacement bits for almost anything below. These are all in stl format btw.

Single Lid for nozzle

Single Tank for nozzle

Main Printhead

Manifold

Older Models (part of the Full CAD)

Older models of most of the parts can be found in the cad folder. However, it is NOT recommended to use them. Please use the newest model (V4.5 for the nozzle, V1 for the printhead and V1 for the manifold).

How to print the printer (part of the Full CAD)

1. Download the relevant files from the model files section above
2. Print it on any 3D printer using supports. For the nozzle and the manifold, it should only generate supports for the piping. Not inside it. For the printhead, there should be no supports.
3. Assemble using the guide (W.I.P)

This project was fit for a Bambu Labs A1 Mini, and a 0.4MM nozzle, but I assume it will work on anything else.

Technical details

The PX8-20H-01 contains 8 piezoelectric discs that move forward and backwards under high voltage, causing a membrane to push a tiny ink droplet out onto a page, hence the name - inkjet. A motor in the CHW-IP8-27G moves the PX8-20H-01 back and forth, meaning it can print anywhere on a page using its nozzles. It is 1.5 DPI

Model Names

• CHW-IP8-27G-EXP - Full printer assembly (Printhead, nozzles, feeders etc)
• PX8-20H-01 - Experimental nozzle (Newest model)

Datasheets

• PX8-20H-01

Logo

The logo was designed by me, and it has a pretty cool story!

I was originally going for a cool spiral sort of logo, where i made a bunch of circles that get increasingly smaller and change between black and white, but in canva, I highlighted the centre circle, and noticed that the select box looked warped for some reason. It reminded me of this optical illusion so i just stuck with it, and now it is the logo!

PCB

You can order the pcb from anywhere, but here are the files you'll need

You actually don't need most of these, just the gerber files for manufacturing. To buy the parts you'll need to solder on to the board, check out the BOM.csv

Extra thanks!

• Thank you so much to stardance for funding whatever this is! Y'all are the best!! Please keep doing what you're doing, and everyone WILL enjoy it!
• Also big thanks to YOUTUBE for hosting videos that i can watch to learn about printers (I knew nothing about them before this)
• Huge thanks to any teacher in my classroom that didn't tell me off for working on this during class time whoops
