Sold.

Do you have any videos of it operating you could post on Youtube or something similar?

Price reduced to 1300.

Hard to do, but I'm finally ready to sell. I bought it at the end of 2016 but just don't use it as much as I thought I would, plus we're getting one at work that I can use. For the most part it's stock, includes the automatic nozzle changer. I also upgraded the up-camera with mrandt's hexagonal came...

Perhaps the feeder itself could detect the pressure from the nozzle and advance the tape after a delay. That would be relatively simple to implement with a micro controller and and requires no software changes.

Like some others, I've found that the 12V regulator on the TinyG operates quite hot when running a fan, ring lights, etc. I replaced it with a switching regulator (R-78C12-1.0) and now it's barely warm even when loaded with a fan (~300mA) and two upgraded ringlights (~300mA each). Removing the 7812 ...

I use Krytox. Expensive stuff (if I didn't have tubes of it all over at work) but a little goes a long way and it basically never needs to be reapplied.

I removed the C270's green LED and used the contacts to feed the optoisolator's input, the output pulls the gate of a N-channel MOSFET up to 12V and turns on the LEDs. Now THAT'S clever (Digs out soldering iron again) Thanks, it was one of those "aha" moments as I was removing the green L...

You can get the LEDs from almost any distributor, I used Digi-key as they're close to me and shipping is fast. Part number is 475-1185-1-ND. I found that the 22 ohm resistors were too low and at 12V the current was nearly 80mA per section/LED. Fortunately none burned out, but I increased resistance ...

John, Sent you a PM, but I figured I would post here as well. Would you be willing to share the Fusion 360 files with me? I'd like to make a few minor changes to suit my own use and don't really want to remodel everything. I can share the files back with you, post on here, whatever you prefer.
