But it worked for months, at least mine did. I don't see at all why it
would suddenly fail.
Mine also got worse as i tried cleaning instead of better.

I wonder what i need to swap out if i get a new printer, i expect both the
head and the controller board. I don't necessarily want to mechanically
modify another printer (just yet, at some point i'll probably want to make
a better version).


Has anyone tried what maximum weight the paper feed can carry? (how heavy
the carrier can be i mean). There is also a calibration parameter that has
to do with that, i think.
