Laserplotter Laserengraver
thingiverse
Here are the Frame-Parts for a fully working laserplotter: You need several parts to complete the machine: 2x Nema17 Steppers - These powerful motors will drive the movement of your plotter. 2 stepper drivers - Necessary for controlling the motors, these small circuits provide the precision needed to create precise movements. 2x Belts - Used to transmit motion between different parts of the machine. 4x matching toothwheels - Precision engineering ensures a seamless and reliable performance from these components. ~16x16cm tile of alloy or something similar - A vital structural component, this metal sheet forms the backbone of your laserplotter. Arduino Uno - The heart of your project, this microcontroller enables precise control over various components. 9V power supply - Provides the necessary energy for your plotter to operate efficiently. 8x LMU8 linear bearings - Smoother operation and extended lifespan guaranteed by these precision-engineered linear motion solutions. 8mm rods - Sturdy and durable, these metal rods offer robust support and structure. M8 threaded rods - With high thread strength and secure locking capabilities, they provide a rock-solid foundation for your plotter's assembly. Laserdiode (UV for engraving, red for cutting) - At the core of any laser engraver or cutter is this high-powered laser diode, providing exceptional precision and efficiency. Safety glasses - Prioritizing operator safety with protective eyewear. Some wires - Additional connections are always welcome, whether they're for the arduino, drivers or anything else that needs a spark to come alive. Optional: Buttons for endstops - Optional upgrades can bring convenience and automation to your project, like buttons to stop the movement automatically. Firmware for the Arduino is GRBL - A highly effective and well-documented tool used in converting graphics into g-code format for various cutting tools and laser engravers. Utilizing one of the laser-engraver plugins available within Inkscape, it's easy to work with images or create precise g-codes to match your machine capabilities. In order to have a smooth operation and get all details about this plotter, read about GRBL configurations first: This video will give you more understanding - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrK0hxPkIi8 Print Settings Printer: German RepRap NEO Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 45% Notes: All this was done using Performance-PLA from German RepRap, but it worked out great with Nunus Glow in the Dark PLA as well.
