Complete project build https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqgW_JduGxQ&t=689s DIY CNC Pen Plotter "Clone", XYDraw Machine - The Drawing Machine Build A homework writing machine also known as a 2D Plotter can be used with any pen, pencil, or other drawing tools to write on paper or any notebook for works such as drawing, sketching, calligraphy, art, etc. It uses an Arduino and a CNC shield along with stepper motors and stepper motor drivers to enable movement in the X and Y axis. Stainless steel smooth rods and 3D-printed parts are used to structure the machine. Belt, idler pulley, and motor pulleys were used for linear motion from the motors. For the power supply, a 12v 2A power adapter is used. After powering the machine, you have to connect it to a computer and the universal g-code sender (UGS) software to send the g-codes to the machine. You have to convert any text or image file into g-code by using software named Inkscape. Once the g-code is ready, open it in the UGS, connect the COM port of the Arduino and click the play button. You can also change the speed and acceleration of the machine in the firmware settings menu under the machine tab of the UGS software. You can do a lot of work with this machine that is up to your expertise and learning. Comment below for any query regarding machine setup software and g-code making. A list of parts and software is given below. You can buy these parts from any online website store or local market near you.
