    I'm looking for someone to work with me on building a unique machine.

    I own a ShopBot PRT Alpha CNC Router (for cutting wood). I want to "bolt on" to my spindle plotter jets to be able to print onto media cut on the CNC router.

    A printer is, in essence, a CNC device moving left/ right and printing as it feeds the paper through. Bolting jet heads onto a CNC machine would give it a third axis to move up and down.

    So I need a true hardware expert who understands these 2 hardware types and the software that makes them work. I have a photo of one that has been made but it's a highly guarded secret how it works. So I'm motivated to start from start.

    If you understand these concepts and want to work on this project, please email me at [email protected] to discuss further.
