This thread is for the purpose of deep documentation of the R1900 DIYDTG build. We welcome anybody that has an input to add, no egos here. Special thanks to the team that made the other DIYDTGs possible.
just makes the printer happy.. for its start up and shut down sequence, and is used in its stock form as timing for the paper delivery.. there are ways to rid this with a timer, but its just as easy to use the asf.. some commercial printers incorporate the asf in this form aswell.. like i said its easier than fabing a board and does the same thing!!
Ok more videos and documentation starting Monday night! Subjects how printer acts before disassembly and printer disassembly. I have decided to go friction drive per the gods of the DYI/DTG forums.
I am not sure if I had missed a post but can someone point me in the right direction on what all I will need other than the first page post with the MDF and lowes parts and the cutting board from walmart with screws?
I have purchased all of that so far but I have been reading about pulleys and belts but not sure if I have missed something along the way. Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated
You can look at the clue book for all of that if you wish. I will be doing more documentation as I go if you want to wait. Did you read the main Licence to thrill forum yet? My mission is to document all of this although it does take time to do a good job. Thank you for reading!
Thanks I will look over the clue book. Thanks so much for documenting everything like this. I have a million things going on and lack the time needed to process the clue book to try to piece one together without some hard facts and instructions. Thanks to everyone for all the hard work so far.
Friction. Still out on direct drive or using a roller (skateboard whees possible)to transfer the motion. Concentrating on the printer take down now and thinking about the drive systems while I goto sleep (my best thinking time). Thank you for following the thread.
Something to think about. Consider a way to adjust down pressure on friction drive. The original kiosk and Tjets use the springs already in place. Some after much use became weak and caused registration issues. I have not built a friction feed so just a thought.
Her is my thought so far. Cost $9.00 at walmart (Skateboard). I went to a friend of mine that makes urethane parts and he is sneaking me in a set of wheels with the high stickiness in the morning run. Yes I can and will have a lot made for you all if it works. These are not the wheels just the rig in the photo below.
I am the weird guy out in this forum. I am adapting this printer for the art world in the end. So the tshirt inks will not be what I am using. I will use the standard ink sets to test then consult the pros when I goto make
Hey this is Nick Frank “feclarks” nephew and I have been the 3D CAD guy for most of the project. Right now we have the Epson r1900 cases off and we are recording disassembly and all boot sequence’s from all angles for future reference.
Hey everyone that is my nephew and he is a smart kid that has the DIY vibe about him. He has that can do spirit and has been a great dude to have in my court. If you need something drawn up he is the man! I am very proud of him.
So tonight we got the printer apart and yes every step is photographed and will be documented deeply. I have decided to stray a little on the drive system on this design to a direct drive as I really feel strongly this is the way to go. It is also lower cost! I will start posting the tear down photos and instructions in the morn. We also did HD video of the printer with the top off from all angles so we have a base look of how it operated for future reference. We did this for both power up and printing of a page.
I would like to state that as I tear this baby down and see all the little parts moving, I cannot stop thinking what BIG BRASS BALLS the first guys that did this had! You know who you are and thanks!
from Spain I'm anxious, because I have two printers broken, hopefully with your photos and video explanations get it. since I am not good at cricolaje like you. everything seems secillo but then when it work, is not so simple. Greetings.
Okay 2200 is up and printing, i'm uploading a vid to youtube, it's only at 20% should be posted soon i guess, it's labeled epson 2200 dtg, showing the no ASF mod, i was getting fatal errors until CMOS stated that he bypassed the lever control switches.
DT have you tried to reset the ink pad counter with the utility ssc utility, or do you just need ink...
colorfing.... Is it? this is my first build ever, so i take it that the newer models are smaller,
IF YOU DONT ASK, YOU WILL HAVE TO RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN , AND THAT IS VERY EXHAUSTING, I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE...!.......... J .S.

I tried the ssc utility but i don't think it is working for the printer i have. i understand that epson will let you have an updated one if you register with the serial number of your printer. I think its either the ink cartridges or the cables or printhead. Nothing comes out of the drain tubes for a cleaning cycle. I have a set of cleaning cartridges and cleaning fluid coming. i may have screwew something up but i don't think so. at least the 1400 is a lot cheaper than the 1900 if I have to get another one to fix this thing.

I did a test printing today .. printer needs some fine tuning but all in all its working fine.
Fist I had a problem with two blinking orange lights while starting the printer (Paper and ink ). But the funny thing was that I did not get this error if I pe was pressed while starting.
The Wood I used for this build has a white surface. And it seems that this was the problem. I just took a black piece of paper and covered the surface under the printhead. - No more error.
This did the job.
I think a few people had the same error around here so I wanted to share this with you guys.
Here is the links to videos that I put up on Youtube. I could not find out how to embed them here. I think I will bring up a webpage to put all of the files, photos and videos in one place.
Case off boot up left side no usb
