Title: Making a Canon Cd tray on my CNC machine
Post by: EL34 on September 14, 2010, 10:02:58 am

I made a Canon type G CD tray for my printer out of Lexan.
The tray lets you insert printable CD's and DVD's into your Canon printer and print right on the CD.

After a bunch of trial and error, I made a few adjustments and got it working properly.

I have more info, details and larger images on this page.

Is this for running a CD through a printer? If so, that's very cool.

Was the original Canon part useless?

Hi Doug

I've seen you build your own CD Tray

have you think you can build a modifier Tray to be used to print little PCB ?

Yes, that is what I was going to do

I have another post showing the hacked printer pcb project
http://www.el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=10065.0 (http://www.el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=10065.0)

The printer did not work and so I put the project on hold.
I need to get another Epson like the one I tore apart to get the print head assembly.
