Hey Matthias, thanks for the update! The printer looks to be working pretty fine. Your X-axis is moving faster than the original Pwdr, how did you manage to do that?

I did my first print today. The plaster I got was horrible and everything crumpled to dust. But the machine worked just fine! ;-)

Well, I have not yet determined the correct amount of binder. The transport speed is directly related to the number of times I have to fire the nozzles. The nozzles need a short break after firing to refill with ink and cool down. But I also put quite a big effort into synchronizing the firing of the nozzles with the stepper transport to get a very smooth operation. A scope is a very helpful tool... .

OK, after experimenting a bit, I did not get anything to bind correctly. Ink is not a binder to my plaster at all, and my second attempt with alcohol failed, because the alcohol is seeping out of the cartridge and forms drops under the cartridge holder. Those then pick up plaster, creating something like a dull icicle, which destroyz the powder surface. Meh.
Any suggestions on which liquid to use? I will try rice wine and deskilled water probably tonight.

Are you used a pure alcohol? I used vodka (40% ethanol) with water 1/1 and didn't have a such problems. But this is not enough to bind the alabaster that I use, the printed part breaks down when I cleaning it with a brush. Now I think to try super hard dental gypsum.

I used Gin (for the lack of Vodka or other medicinal ointments) 36% alcohol and a few juniper berries.

The alcohol does not enhance binding of the plaster, it's purely there for decreasing the viscosity i order to get it printed with the inkjet head. Notice that the level of bonding is controlled with the number of droplets deposited per spot. For commercial 3D plaster powder, we used between 12 and 15 drops per spot.
