Results of peristaltic pump trial: not so good. I think it's worth showing that failure happens. I already have some thoughts about what to do next.
Larger rollers = adequate suction, too much rotary resistance; smaller rollers = inadequate suction.
A more powerful motor could solve it, but the goal was to use the same as the syringe pump for comparison. My other options are softer tubing that squishes more easily, and ball bearings on all shafts. #robotics#3dprinting
