PERMANENT MARKER PRINTER TEST (Patreon)

Hi everyone! This week I tried to make the printer work but after a lot of fiddling I realized that there were too many tweaks to be done and run out of time. The main issues that I found were:

1.- The markers are held too tightly and the tips have to be perfectly aligned to be able to draw a flat wide line. 

2.- The travel distance of the servos was not enough to retract the markers most of the time, I could solve this just by readjusting the position of the arm on the servo but that still would leave very little room to work. 

3.- The arms are completely stiff and the markers lift the printer unless around 8-10kg are applied to the printer. 

4.- Everything has to be assembled in a certain order and any adjustments require a buckload of operations.

Due to all of this is time to go back to the drawing board, I'll do a redesign that should solve all those issues and try again next time. That's good and bad news because that will postpone the start of the new tank series but also will give me more time to print parts so...

Please let me know what you think on the comments.
