Drawing Software For Grbl Plotter Code Of TheSketch It (CNC Plotter) Project tutorial by Yogeshmodi 141,158 views 31 comments 204 respects Project tutorial Sketch It (CNC Plotter) It can sketch accurately, you just have to upload the gcode of the image.Drawing Software For Grbl Plotter Bluetooth Connection IBecause it works with serial communication you can also use a Bluetooth module (like HC-06) to print your stuff wirelessly through your computer Bluetooth connection I have used the code from this s ite, so I need to thank the Makerblog.at for sharing this to us.
Why to use screw terminal connectors Because you dont want to solder and desolder cables from stepper motors until you find the correct working combination. Drawing Software For Grbl Plotter Driver Soldering IronTools (only for pro part list): Screwdriver Soldering iron Solder Cutting tool (e.g. Dremel) (Optional for cutting plastic parts) Glue Step 2: Desassembly DVDCD Drives First step to start building this cnc machine is to disassemble two dvdcd drives and take off them the stepper motors. Use the screwdriver to open them and take off them the rails. I mean in our next step) Watch the above image. Step 3: X and Y axis In first image above you will see the Y axis of our CNC machine. Attach it on your surface, in this part you will need some screws and nuts. The X axis is attached to two plastic parts that I took from remaining garbage stuff. Just make sure to put the Y axis straight to CNC base and the X axis vertically in this (90 degrees). Step 4: The Z axis Thats the most difficult part of our construction. You will need something to attach it on X axis, a flat surface. On that surface you will attach the servo motor (Z axis) and the pen base. Pen (or pencil) must be able to move up and down with the help of servo motor. Watch the above image to understand what you need to do to duild Z axis. Tip Use your imagination;) Step 5: Paper base Now you will have to attach a wood (or plastic) surface on Y axis (5x5cm will be fine). On this you will put the paper piece to print your texts or images Remember, printing area is 4x4cm. Step 6: The Circuit Now that we have our contraction ready, its time to build the circuit and test stepper motors (X and Y axis). If yours steppers doesnt work properly you must find correct working combination by changing the cables between them and the L293D ICs. On mine cnc, X axis motor connection are: L293 A: Pins 1 and 3 B: 2 and 4, but on Y axis motor connection are A: 1 and 2 B: 3 and 4. Step 7: Testing X and Y axis movement Here is the X and Y axis testing code embedded using codebender For X axis: For Y axis: If you see any movement here that means that the stepper motors wiring is correct If you dont, try to change the cables. Step 8: Uploading the CNC code Here is the main CNC code embedded using codebender In this part you will see your pen goes up. If dont, change penUp and penDown variables that controlling the servo motor. Press the Run on Arduino button and program your board from your browser Step 9: The GCTRL program Now we are ready to print our first image To do this we will use the gctrl.pde processing program.
