Addendum to that last post:

A project log for Electrospinning Machine

Bring an open source electrospinning machine to the hobbyist level. Made with easily sourced and inexpensive materials.

Forgot to mention something. I'm really amazed at how thin this thing can pull fibers. On the last run tonight I shut down the pump and then the HV. When I opened the door there were eight fibers running all the way from the nozzle to the plate, in sort of a cone shape, so thin I could barely see them at all, and it was just a lucky move of the light that let me know they were there. A second later a a little material oozed out of the nozzle and they broke off. They made a spider web look like a rope.

Just had to mention that. That capability is going to come in handy when I get to the nanotube stuff!
