It only uses 5 pins which can be jumper selected to avoid other shields.  It is designed with a Arduino Mega footprint but fully supports both the Arduino and the Arduino Mega.  It uses all through-hole components to make assembly easy even for beginners.<br />
<br />
<b>Features</b><br />
Compatible with Arduino and Arduino Mega<br />
Uses only 5 user selectable pins<br />
Stackable (up to 11 Inkshields on Ardunio, 15 on Mega)<br />
On-board 20V boost converter for inkjet head<br />
Accepts 9-12V input via optional power connector or from the Arduino Vin<br />
Auxiliary input header offers support for other microcontrollers <br />
Auxiliary output header supports an extension cable to the inkjet head<br />
Power and Pulse activity LEDs<br />

I added a version, "*_040pins", with larger pin holes to allow for larger non-stackable pins.  The prior version works perfectly with female stackable header pins but not with many regular male pins. <br />
<br />
These are modules for both EESchema and PCBNew in KiCad. They will allow you to make PCBs that have the appropriate header positions for a Arduino shield. I adapted files I found on the KiCad yahoo group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/files/Library/ArduinoShield.ZIP posted by axtz4) adding a version for the MEGA.<br />
<br />
I have found many Eagle librarys but very few for KiCad, I hope this encourages others to use this great tool and share more KiCad files.

            <title>DIY Inkjet Printer</title>
            <link>http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8542</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin: 5px;"><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8542"><img src="http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/03/18/2e/6b/18/5725268080_d319c9b2c8_o_preview_large.jpg" alt="Close-up of carriage" class="render" style="width: 240px; height: 180px" /></a><br/>Close-up of carriage</div><div>The goal of this project was to develop a low cost, open source inkjet printer utilizing standard inkjet technology, for personal use.   This project was partly in response to the fact that there are no DIY inkjet kits available.  There was a kit available from Parallax <a href="http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/robo/InkjetKitDocs-v1.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/robo/InkjetKitDocs-v1.0.pdf</a>.  This kit is no longer made and the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Inkjet-Applications-Matt-Gilliland/dp/0972015930" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">amazon.com/Inkjet-Applications-Matt-Gilliland/dp/0972015930</a> that was written to use that kit is now out of print.<br />
The prototype design used a carriage assembly constructed from steel rods that were assembled using connectors that can be printed on an FDM machine. The entire carriage system is driven along the x-axis by a belt attached to a stepper motor. The print cartridge, taken from an HP point of sale printer, is driven along the y-axis by another stepper motor belt drive. The electronic controls use an Arduino Mega to run all of the printing systems.<br />
The design resulted in a working prototype that fulfills all of the design constraints. The rod frame carriage design is lightweight, easy to assemble and easy to integrate with the other systems. The Arduino used in the electronics has a large library of resources available to perform things like LCD, SD card, and stepper control.<br />
Areas where future work should be focused include making molds and casting printable parts to bring down the overall cost, developing host side software, and optimizing the speed.<br />
<br />
There is a video of this working here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYeYeTGkvJM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">youtube.com/watch?v=fYeYeTGkvJM</a><br />

It has added versions, "*_040pins", with larger pin holes to allow for larger non-stackable pins. This version works perfectly with female stackable header pins but not with many regular male pins. <br />
<br />
This replaces the prior version.  Some of the pins on the Mega were incorrectly labeled.  I also re-arranged some pins so that they made more sense.<br />
<br />
These are modules for both EESchema and PCBNew in KiCad. They will allow you to make PCBs that have the appropriate header positions for a Arduino shield. I adapted files I found on the KiCad yahoo group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/files/Library/ArduinoShield.ZIP posted by axtz4) adding a version for the MEGA.<br />
<br />
I have found many Eagle librarys but very few for KiCad, I hope this encourages others to use this great tool and share more KiCad files.

Some of the pins on the Mega were incorrectly labeled. I also re-arranged some pins so that they made more sense.<br />
<br />
These are modules for both EESchema and PCBNew in KiCad.  They will allow you to make PCBs that have the appropriate header positions for a Arduino shield.  I adapted files I found on the KiCad yahoo group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/files/Library/ArduinoShield.ZIP posted by axtz4) adding a version for the MEGA.<br />
<br />
I have found many Eagle librarys but very few for KiCad, I hope this encourages others to use this great tool and share more KiCad files.
