Plotclock Remix

thingiverse

This design is a reimagined version of Joo's excellent work, incorporating suggestions from corben33 and kghjfg. It offers several improvements: Optimized hole sizes ensure seamless hardware compatibility, while increased clearances for servos provide more room to maneuver. Thickness adjustments cater specifically to 0.4mm layer heights, minimizing potential issues during printing. To optimize material usage, the drawing plate has been hollowed out. The marker holder's mounting method has also undergone a revision. On a related note, I discovered an exceptional resource for Arduino components: A high-quality UNO clone can be purchased for just $7 at Banggood, a reliable online marketplace. You can access this affordable board by visiting their website: http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-Arduino-Compatible-R3-UNO-ATmega16U2-AVR-USB-Board-p-68537.html?p=S6191815187312015045. Instructions: Print the necessary components. Compile and upload an Arduino program using Plotclock, available on GitHub at https://github.com/9a/plotclock. Initiate calibration procedures. Begin running the plotclock once calibrations are complete. For enhanced performance: Use servo horns to prevent slipping. Designing specialized arms proved inefficient, as they often malfunctioned during operation. Employ a wiper part typically found in chair legs, designed to protect floors from scratches. This simple adjustment has made a significant impact on overall effectiveness.
