the Cartomizer refill project

Ripped apart an old parallel port flatbed scanner to get the parts... the stepper motor and track were the important parts. The BS2 stamp2 will run the motor pulsing at set intervals moving the syringe slowly in then out, to flood fill the cartomizer with a forced (sucked) drain.

All that's left now is to "acquire" two Iv tubing assemblies with 1 way valves. going to use an old click pen (large kind) to hold the cartomizer in place during the filling process.

Part 2.....

Using the "Ez-Refill" syringe i got from goodprophets.... i managed to use that old scanner drive to pump the syringe and drip into hte cartomizer, using a Basic Stamp 2, a big medicine bottle, and some IV tubing...

i'll post the video...




here it is with a smaller (thinner) syringe... eh almost there, not accurate worth a dam, but till i get the servo's i might as well have fun.
