. . . but it has to be made DIGITAL first. that's like taking all the inconvenience of a vinyl record yet doing away with it's superior analog sound. it is an interesting concept, however

With these pins, you can engrave in the hot plastic, but also precisely shape molten plastic lines into smooth curves with no staircase effects. Ideally you'd have these 16 pins in a retractable line which can be positioned to smooth the hot-dot plastic-line to match the desired curves of the model surface with a single hot-dot plastic-line extruder head. If you hovered the hot-dot extruder head over the surface, you could soften the surface for fine engraving.

For example, you need 4 types of hot plastic edge shaper-pin points (to smooth out fine details and remove the "staircase texture" on hot-dot plastic-line molding). 1-straight column pin with flat bottom. 5 pins with a straight-line point angled at 15-degrees, 30-degrees, 45-degrees, 60-degrees, 75-degrees. 5 pins with a convex ellipse shape (rounded at the bottom) also angled in 15-degree increments. 5 pins with concave pins angled in 15-degree increments (rounded at the end).

The problem of support material with a hot-dot plastic-line extruder remains with a single extrusion nozzle or an array. You could add a miniature robot arm to reposition floating parts, but that'd only gain you placement of one part per robot arm. I have a great number of ideas, but none practical under the $50 range. However, one thing is obvious, in order to create smoother-looking models, a secondary array of pins can be used to shape molten plastic edges before cooling.

Now if you were to use a 5 x 12 grid in the current XY alignment, you'd have to jiggle the array constantly during dot layout. With a 30 degree angle twist, when the pin array moves along the Y-axis your progressive dot overlap speeds up array printing dramatically because the plastic dot print array does not have to backtrack or jitter to fill in the gaps between pins.
You still have the ever-present problem of support material though.

For example
GOOGLE[ Products - Microarray Printing - 946 Technology ]
Your feed grid has a "V"-shaped hole at the bottom, the heated float grid contains the molten plastic at acceptable pressure, the pins have a small amount of metal shaved off above the "V" end of the pin so that when the pin is lifted, the pin allows pressurized plastic to flow. Pin is down = no plastic flow. With the distance between pins, it would be optimal to angle the 5 x 12 pin grid by 30 degree to gain dot overlap.

You know, you could do this. Not with the standard hot-dot line-molding tech, but if you added in a blue-ray laser to etch out the grooves you could do this. It might also be feasible with a hot-dot arrayed matrix printer. Using a similar design of solenoid pin printer it would have a pin plunger with a shaved-off vertical slot on the pin to allow plastic flow, when you want to stop the flow, the pin is pushed down which blocks flow.

I wish to commission 3um thick 3d sound-o-matic disc that is also bra. I have all terrain slot-bot car I made already for Baja race/vacation. I think you make mounds of dollars and fun with customers like me I know are waiting for exciting new product to try also you keep movie rights a plus.

Haha! You had me until you put it in the cd player. The whole time I was thinking what type of extruder could do this. I think it's physically possible with a v-shaped nozzle and a turntable build platform. You'd have to get rid of part of the frame...

I know it was a joke, but I can't help but see this and think "would it be possible to do that, really? I mean if you had something to cut the track as you're laying down the plastic... the only thing is you're printing from the center out and then playing from the outside in.
Seriously, would this be possible?
cymonsgames 5 months ago
@cymonsgames You can't really print a record from a digital system. Whatever you developed to cut the track would have to have incredible resolution to mimic the analog nature of vinyl.
ronindebeatrice 2 months ago
@ronindebeatrice Well I was thinking you could use the same process that they use with wax, just do it close enough to the extruded plastic while it's still soft.

What is a "turntable?" They also made mention of something else called "vinyl records?" Has anyone heard of such sorcery?
