Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

Hmmm, getting more difficult with the 850...

I have managed to cut away all the metal in the way of the PCB path.
Then I started watching as I was pushing a PCB through the printer to
see what problems and clearences and such are needed and where. Got
all the obstructions out of the way and have clearance between the
print head and the PCB now.

Now the problem is getting the PCB to feed through. The main feed
roller on this printer is the metal roller with the rough surface on
it - not a rubber roller. There just isn't enough friction between
that and the rollers above and the PCB to pull the PCB through. There
is a second set of rubber rollers on the outfeed side. Once I get the
PCB to that point, it might feed okay.

Getting a carrier board in there is the next direction for me to start
looking.
