Validate "pixel" technology stack (mechanical) #3

Description

@hansj66

We need to figure out the best / most reliable way of printing a pixel.

Stuff to figure out:

  • Can we rely on gravity feed, or do we need a pressurized system
  • If we need pressure, do we need one pump per pixel or do we pressurize the tank
  • We need to figure out the "plumbing" / fittings from tank to nozzle (with everything in between)
  • We need some form of solenoid valves. There are plenty to choose from on AliExpress.
  • Can we use simple mechanical relay boards to control the solenoid valves or are we better off with mosfets ?
