It actually works! Well, its first ever print-out could certainly do with some improvements, but to be honest, I'm happy it's even intelligible at all! Part 7 in my super-basic, Arduino-controlled printer project.

It should be better when I at least have a stable and level tray for the paper (or whatever) to sit on. I have an idea for an alternative to a heavy sheet of steel, which you should be able to see in the next video. Perhaps the PSU fan will have arrived by then, too...

Also, enjoy the in-sync 50 FPS if you can! That pen flicks back and forth at stupid speeds, so a high frame rate is actually useful here.
