I know this is a couple years old build but its quite nice. I added a 3rd projector to rebuild the used up merge block half (but I suppose I could use the 2nd projector that's built in.
Either cameras or a control seat would help with having a nice view when trying to position a blueprint projection before printing. Maybe add a camera somewhere on the back side of the control panel or the projection arm if there's room?
Having menu options for rotating the projection arm clear of the print (or having it automatic) would be a nice add-on.

I'm having an issue with recompiling the code on the programmable blocks. The two lower LCDs remain blank after recompiling, and the Easy Automation PB gives me the following error: "The code sorce "Debug LCD" does not contain a code block named "Speed."

Love it, Well done, easily expandable to :)

@k. rogue I added instructions step by step in the new discussion over here: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2886804522/3710432845024438577/ (couldn't fit that in the comment)

Great mod! What do I need to change to add more pistons for the projector arm?

Nevermind, after dismantling and rebuilding the control box it suddenly fits just fine and all works as advertised. I'm chalking it up to Havok jank. For posterity, I built the entire piston+Rotor+Control separately since building it as a unit didn't work, dropped it in the slot but it wouldn't slide in until the control box was dismantled. Welded the piston to the original pad using the Weld Pad mod, then rebuilt the control box and connected the sensor to the piston.
10/10 pad now that I have it working!

Hey I'm having a little difficulty getting this to work right, it seems that the control assembly and the welders/armor around it are colliding, preventing the piston from actually moving more than a few inches and preventing one of the welders from being built. I am in survival, though I use the multigrid projection plugin for building. Is this the fault of the plugin or did I simply weld this all up incorrectly?
Beautiful pad, by the by.

thanks for your time and try to help me. i guess im doing something wrong at the basics... even when i use the "pad printer" blueprint in creative mode in a complete new session/game - i neither get the console block nor the piston with the projector.

The easiest way would be to use a mod as such: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2348106533

or make a blueprint of the control panel and the holding arm, print it in survival and attach using some kind of lift or another maintenance vehicle

it's my first time to try/use a blueprint in survival. and im doing something wrong. if i build the pad prinert i dont get the console block nor the piston with the projector. i think this is something about subgrids? how can i get these parts of the pad printer?

@pro100tv scripts are enabled, the projector pad is working i can control remotely

Client-side in-game scripts are most likely disabled on this server, the interface screen requires those to function

i tried a lot of times, maybe itis a problem with dedicated server.

the gui pad is not working even using remote or buttons...

I've been using that one for years now. Quite like it actually ;)

@BlackHearthx Your personal broadcasting needs to be On ("O" on the keyboard)

When it comes to the second issue that's my bad I forgot to mention how to set it up in the description. To fix it add the following:
- Piston Control Panel - Reverse - for the button on the top of the control panel
- 1. Piston Control Panel - Extend 2. Piston Control Panel - Retract - for Sensor

@DarkStar I was using this printer in my survival, but it has some issues, so I decided to create my own

reminds me of this hmmmm

i have two problems:

i cannot do remote control, theres no acessible into remote options
the rotor wont move up to access the control buttons

could you please help?

A great build, looks neat and simple to operate although it is obviously more involved than that. Very nice work, well done.

most impressive

@wrigley.bailey try recompiling Programmable Block - GUI after pasting the printer, it should help

@BlackHearthx You can either blueprint the subgrids placed on rotors and print them separately or use a mod like this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2348106533

i cant construct rotors, could you please help?

when copying and pasting the pad, the interface screen no longer functions

I wonder if I can fit this inside an auxiliary ship. Yeah probably.

This is an awesome build!!! Great work once again
