l'm attempting to make a 3D printer cartridge reader. We have two Stratasys 250mc ABS plastic 3D printers in IMR. We constantly changing material (colors) for specific jobs so we have multiple cartridges on our racks. Theses cartridges have different percentanges of material remaining inside and the only way to deterimine how much is remaining is to install each cartridge into the 3D printer that reads the EPROM. This gives us the color, amount remaning and type of material. But this process takes about 20 minutes each time. With the Galileo board I believe we could make a device that would read each cartridge just by a simple touch of the EEPROM. This device wll help eliminate wasted time and wasted material by helping our techs and engineers quickly determine which cartridge to use for a specific 3D print job.
