I tried 0.1mm wire, handheld. Was thinking about feeding it through a glass capillary and using a mechanical sensor on the capillary for the we're-too-low signal.
that's a really good idea using a glass tube
Didn't do spark counting, was considering partially overlapping circles being bitten out of the copper.
I would think it would be hard to get a super clean line in the copper.
I will have to head out soon. Are there any lingering technical questions?
The question is, how hard it is to get clean-enough line.
You'd have to try it on a machine to find out
Yup. Didn't get enough round tuits yet.
get one. they're so worth it
About to play with some elastomers. Printing gaskets, and wearables.
Gaskets are an issue for fluids-handling.
Wrote some software earlier for gcode generation for drawing on fabrics, dot by dot, by just touching the surface from top-down and then retracting and going to another pixel. Eliminated issues with lateral forces on the pen and the fabric wrinkling. Can be also handy for spark-engraving surfaces.

May be an idea handy for something.
Sweet! I'll take a look
Hello everybody! Sorry I'm joining so late. Currently at work.
👋 I think we're just about finishing up now. Do you have any questions I can answer before I go?
Scrolling back to get an idea of what went on...
I'll be posting a transcript in a minute
No questions (yet)...
Is your stuff here on Hackaday? Will probly refer to it later.
Plus Tom Nardi usuallyu does a nice summary article on Friday
