FireWriter, The Inkjet Printer That Prints With Fire

FireWriter, The Inkjet Printer That Prints With Fire

Many people have a disdain for inkjet printers, they believe that they are annoying. As it turns out, it is indeed possible to turn annoying things in to interesting machinery. Meet FireWriter 1.0, an inkjet printer that prints using actual fire. Called a graphic butane/propane torch printer built with Processing and Arduino, it is made from a hacked inkjet printer controller via an Arduino Uno. The fire bit is provided by a Dremel torch that has a butane/propane mix. The precision, duration and strength of the flame can be manually controlled through a pitch, in real time.
