How to Print on Wood
This project was inspired by Jay's video here
Make a Custom Tip
Grind the head of a carriage bolt flat
Sand it smooth
Modify the Soldering Iron
Start by unscrewing the tip,
Then measure the diameter of the 'shank'.
Installing the Custom Tip
The bolt is now filled down and cut to fit into the soldiering iron, i commend keeping it short about 10 mm or 1/4" .
Transfer Your Design
I printed a flipped design off at school as I don't own a laser printer that uses toner ,this is essential for this to work.
Then I taped one side to my work piece then rubbing the paper with the iron a few times.
This cold be improved in many ways;
-making the tip shorter
-using car engine valve
