Hey.

Look at this Glue Dispensing Controller:

[www.dealextreme.com]

I think it would be pretty simple to adapt it on a RepRap, just need some mod in the pump (I think that you just have to use a P2 mono wire) and the mount in the extruder, the problem it's that is not quite cheap.

So, any ideas/suggestions about that?

Looks like this dispenser extrudes by pressure only, so it's difficult to quickly start and stop the extrusion as well as getting an exactly defined extrusion volume. For hooking up a dispenser to a robot, you probably want something which drives a piston directly.
