Cosmos Drawbot 1.0

The Cosmic Drawing Bot. Crafted from discarded materials, this bot is a testament to ingenuity and resourcefulness. Every component has been meticulously compacted to minimize clutter and maximize functionality, eliminating the need for extraneous Inkscape extensions. To get started, simply use the attached template, import your image or create something new, and then trace the bitmap. From there, press Ctrl+J, followed by Ctrl+K, and navigate to the GCode tool path. Once you've generated the GCode, open it in your preferred sender (I personally use SourceRabbit GCode Sender). Printing Settings: Layer Height: 0.3 Layer Width: 0.5 Outlines: 2 Infill: 25% Material: PLA This bot is designed for ease of printing, requiring no support structures. Bill of Materials: 2 x 450x8 Smooth Rods (X-axis) 2 x 350x8 Smooth Rods (Y-axis) 2 x 70x3 Smooth Rods (almost any CD-ROM drive) 1 x Spring from a ball pen, cut in half 8 x M8UU or LM8UU bearings 5 x 608ZZ Ball Bearings Approx. 1.8m GT2 belt Arduino Uno V3 GRBL CNC shield 2 x A4988 drivers 2 x Nema 17 Stepper Motors 2 x GT2 16 teeth pulleys (use your existing settings) 1 x Small servo (SG90) 1 x 12V 2000mAh power supply 1 x 5v 40x40x10mm fan Miscellaneous M3 nuts and bolts are also required. Assembly of the controller box follows this order, which worked best for me: Wires Connect stepper motors and servo Insert Uno and GRBL Fan Connect fan Lid If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.
