Zarplotter tabletop drawing robot printed parts

thingiverse

The Zarplotter is a four-motor drawing robot designed by Randy Szarzynski and his team in California. They offer a fully assembled machine available for purchase at zarplotter.com. I built a similar robot to test my modifications to the Makelangelo software (marginallyclever.com/product/makelangelo-software/) and Makelangelo firmware (marginallyclever.com/product/makelangelo-firmware/). This was a natural step towards creating a skycam or spidercam, which shares a similar shape. You can find all the details, including the list of parts needed to build your own Zarplotter, on the official Marginally Clever Zarplotter page (https://www.marginallyclever.com/product/robo-0048-zarplotter-table-top-drawing-robot/). The digital download of the Bill of Materials costs a small amount, less than shipping from our lab to you. By purchasing this bill of materials, you support our research and development of open-source robots. Since you're likely someone who wants to use recycled parts or find better deals on hardware, we say go for it! Here's the list of what you need: build your own Zarplotter with these parts: 1x plotter bottom 1x pen holder 1x servo frame 1x pen adapter 8x twist clamp 8x motor idler 4x tensioner 4x motor ceiling 4x motor floor
