WindowPainter

WindowPainter is a project to recycle old 3D printers. It's a vertical plotter, to be be mounted on a window frame.

This project is still work in progress. Here is my todo list:

Status	Task
✅	Setup the project
✅	Start the design
✅	Run the NopSCADlib flow
❌	Complete an initial version of the design
❌	Add assembly descriptions
❌	Simplify the BOM
❌	Finalize the build instructions
❌	Build a prototype
❌	Refine the design
❌	Setup a project web site
✅	Render an animated title picture
❌	Configure/customize the Marlin firmware
❌	Plot the first image
