Story

A year ago, my wife asked for help with her work, she arranging holidays, she was having fun for children with lots of balloons and other joys. She lacked a machine that would put the image on the balloons, besides, my daughters attacked me with shouts of "colorful balloons, we want colorful balloons with our names, dad you can do everything!" I am a biologist, but I love my family very much and it occurred to me to assemble a project based on something fairly simple to learn, since I did not understand anything in programming. So a year later, and after a few prototypes, tons of reading, I got a project on the Arduino Mega and stepper motors, my family is happy, and my garage looks like a laboratory for today.
The machine had few evolutionary steps in its development. But now it works well. Using silkscreen and paints I can print on every side of ballon. It uses 8 steppers from NEMA 17 to NEMA 34, controlled by Arduino Mega. Body made of aluminum profile and CNC bended parts.
Most difficult parts are NEMA 17 based actuators.... no one knows does they have enough power to run in such non-3D printer machine, but they can do more than you can imagine in proper appliance.
Sorry for my English.
