The Sinclair QL Forum

Thank you,

I meant a printer that does have a serial port, like this one.

Hi everyone,

Would the QL be able to print to a modern printer with a serial interface? There are several receipt or label printers that have serial ports. Would those work or is there something different about the serial protocol?

Just made my serial mouse adapter, now just need a serial mouse to test [emoji4].

The 3D printer was scratch built from parts purchased online, so is not a particular brand but the hotted is made by e3D.
Resin printers produce wonderful quality prints but currently are only for smaller sized prints.

Yes, I have replaced the voltage regulator with the Tetroid one.

Would anyone have an opinion on whether this mouse would work?

Thank you,

Do you think there is a risk in simply trying to plug them together, or could I short something?

Yes, the QL-VGA STL is on Thingiverse.

Taking inspiration from someone on this group, I printed a compact box for the vDrive and used a longer ribbon cable, looping it through the box. This saves desk space by allowing vDrive to sit on the QL. I also printed a box for QL-VGA. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210818/20e20d47597e6e1256fd...

Would it work for a mouse like this:? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210818/95233a67875c7a5b42c2df6a9acf23df.jpg Sent from my iPhone...
