Piano Roll Reader

thingiverse

This is a reader for vintage paper piano rolls that utilizes pneumatic vacuum power. (See 1st image) Clearly, there's an obvious musical application here, yet my primary intention behind designing this was to explore its potential as a tool for "programming" pneumatic machinery. Upon further inspection, I realized that this device can be used to control a wide range of pneumatically powered systems. For more in-depth details on the development and functionality of this project, please visit my blog at https://theheadlesssourceman.wordpress.com/2018/06/22/piano-roll-reader/. A customizer is included with this design, although its practicality may be debatable. While it can provide some entertainment value, I strongly recommend downloading the original openscad file if you intend to utilize it for any serious work.
