Tim, Before worrying about the fuser, can you accurately transfer the toner to the PCB? I expect that to be the big problem to overcome. Bertho ========================================================== From: Tim S Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 11:46 Hi LeMar, I only have the fuser and power supplys left in the LJ II. I stripped everything else off, I just wanted to be able to fuse the toner transfer artwork onto the copperclad instead of ironing it on. I just drive the SI-7300a stepper driver with a ATtiny2313 running a simple C program. That's as far as I have gotten thus far. Next, I plan to build a temperature controller for the fuser, based on the AC power supply from the LJ II. I will use a microprocessor to sense the temperature and turn the triac on and off to maintain a selected temperature in the fuser. Hopefully, this will allow me to fuse the artwork onto the copper by passing it through the LJ fuser. If there is interest, I will post my methods. I am interested in the direct printing, this is just an experiment to see if I can make this concept work for the .062 boards with toner transfer paper. If the fuser won't fuse the toner onto the copper, direct print won't work with these printers. Tim
