    Vanmunch, it's so great to see that you posted this- I was just about to do so myself!

    My friend and I created this over the past ~2 months, and we are very excited about it. As Propellerheads, we figured this was a great way to utilize all the power of the Propeller, most notably the 8 cores to carry out various tasks. We encourage you to submit some of your own photos to it (when it's running for the public), and if you have any ideas for expanding on what we have done, we welcome your feedback!

    Hey - thanks for posting this! I helped create this project. The propeller is awesome and it was perfect for this project.

    That being said, we're always looking for constructive criticism. So please criticize away!

    Hey Guys, great job!

    You might be interested in showing it off later this summer at the Unofficial Propeller Expo that we're organizing in Boston at the Artisan Asylum (Link below). I think that it would be a big hit at the Asylum. http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/153672-Unofficial-Propeller-Expo-North-East-Boston!-If-I-build-it-will-you-come

    The only suggestion that I have for improvement would be with using a longer backdrop and inserting a still image of the printed image in the video right after it's printed. Nothing big, just cosmetic stuff.

    Just out of curiosity, on a much smaller scale. Would it be possible to print small and precise enough to "print" a PCB with light and eliminate the need for the "cover" step? http://www.instructables.com/id/Creating-Printed-Circuit-Boards-with-a-INKJET-Prin/?ALLSTEPS
