Homemade (DIY) CNC Drawing Machine (Pen Plotter)

in #diy4 years ago

Hello.

I made a Pen Plotter based on Arduino Uno & MIGRBL.
A pen plotter is a machine that draws a picture with a pen attached to the device, moving each axis (X, Y, Z) after calculating coordinates along the line of the picture.

Below is a list of specifications and main parts.
ㆍFirmware: MIGRBL
ㆍController: Arduino Uno & CNC Shield v3.0
ㆍWorking Size: 450mm x 405mm
ㆍPen Up/Down: SG90 Servo motor
ㆍX, Y Axis Motor: 17HS4401(NEMA17) x 2
ㆍLimit Switch: X-, Y-
ㆍY Axis: Threaded Rod 8mm
ㆍX Axis: Timing Belt GW2 6mm
ㆍAxis Rail: Linear shaft 500mm x 4
ㆍPC Software: Inkscape v0.48, MIGRBL Extension, Universal G-Code Sender

This video is produced as an introduction and test, and 3D modeling, and the improvement process is planned to produce additional content later.

Thanks for watching.
