did you complete the construction? is the build operational?

The level of care to detail is so amazingly high in this video - WOW. I appreciate the helpful tips to help you ensure everything has worked correctly, such as the troubleshooting steps for the belts, and the continuity test of the contact switches. This is particularly remarkable because it the most complicated build that I have ever seen that is made so accessible to an absolute beginner. If you have access to a few basic tools (glue gun, screwdriver, soldering iron, multimeter), you can make this.

what he said

What a calm and instructive video! Louis presents the video sitted in a sofa in a clean and wide room; although he show some parts and tools in real time, most of the real images from the project were taken before and are voice-overed, so, he doesn't talk at the same time he build the parts. The quality of the images is superb, and the images have no distracting "garbage" in background. The video from the building parts is accelerated or slowed, the camera angles changed, according with the complexity of the subject. Very good!

Great project. I saw another pen plotter on youtube that could actually automatically change colors, nifty, but the X-axis (or the Y axis, depending how you look at it) was just a bit unstable and was begging to be supported. In your design, the free hanging axis seems much sturdier and stable

Excellent! Great video work, great instruction! I haven’t seen this technique of securing the belt before.

This explanation was by far, the best I watched and listened to. Thank you so much for the extra effort you put in the camera angles, etc. to ensure we could see everything. I have always been fascinated by CNC machines, I can't wait to finally build one! I have also immediately liked the video and subscribed to your channel.

​ @DIY Machines - hi, if you can make a plotter like that, then could you also make a CNC tape-laying machine for making carbon fiber parts out of carbon fiber tape? See this company's approach to doing it with a desktop machine: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4mt1c2xgMKffrg.html (see 19:00 in video, for some details).

Another awesome project, can't wait to get started on this one. Keep up the good work!

Dear DIY Machines, This is the first video I am seeing from your KZread Channel. Crisp and Crystal clear videography catches the eyes instantly. And still more Crystal clear audiography catches the ears without any hitch or glitch. I wonder your recording studio must be equipped with the most modern media gadgets. Thanks for both. Your way of describing a, even though you dub "Super Easy", this is indeed somewhat complex design, is simply fascinating! Stream like narration without any drag, is all the more informative. Even at first run, I was able to absorb th key points easily. Assembling a technical machine that is going to be assembled from raw components, with this type of oral guidance is, of course, as you names, "Super Easy!" Apart from the electronics and software sections, the construction fairly uses 3D Printing for many parts. So, no cutting, grinding, polishing, milling or drilling. A very nice method. Congratulations form an ardently ardent DIY Techie from the seventies!! I am about to do this. But I hope you will publish the programming section and the electronics section soon. Please make this video complete is all aspects. Thank you very much!!

Hi, thank you so much for your kind words. I work hard on the projects and the videos and it's so pleasant when someone takes the time to say a few kind words. The second video can be found ere: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqeXra6BqpqdfMo.html

You explained it well and in great detail.

One of the better design print/writers and neatest designs. I think the axial motor mounts could have had slots to mention the belt. And I think the pen end could have been attached directly to the head, with a gear, or swivel arm to lift and drop it. I think I would have built up the shield before mounting the Uno so alignment is easier. But then you can't get the screws. And as a small part of design, the slid bearings, rather than using cable ties, a small screw could hold them there if spaced far enough away to just catch rather than misalign. Keep up the good work.

Nice engineering. Great video, well shot and staged. Mahalo for sharing! : )

cool project but i just put everything not printable into my cart and its $298.21 before check out. which is actually more expensive than some cnc drawing machine you can buy pre assembled

Just got mine finished. Works a treat. I have modified the pen holder by the addition of a compression spring which helps the pen engage on the paper when the servo releases. I also don’t use belt on the pen, just two plain pulley wheels and a length of fishing line between the pen head and the servo. I 3D printed a small support for the pilot wheel at the servo end.

Hey, I was just questioning why do we need the belt for the pen myself, it seems it could be simplified by putting the small servo motor on the same pen holder. Could you share any ideas on how you removed the belt?

Hi, can you easily adjust this to use longer rods if you want it to be bigger?

Is it possible to create a gcode to draw diagrams on a PCB without a stroke, so that it would trot with one line?

Hi, How can we add breaks to stepper motors after motors stops in a certain position ? Is there grbl cofig to be made..?

I successfully build my own plotter, thanks again for your video! Just one thing i´m concerned about: My Nema17 Stepper Motors are becoming quite hot, when drawing big pictures (2-3hours). I can touch them for barely 3-5sec! Is this a common thing (i dont have experience with stepper motors) or is something wrong with the stepper drivers? I saw that its possible to change the ref Voltage, but as i understand, this build is using UART drivers, so no need to configure the vref via potentiometers, right? And how can i configure the motor amperes via UART? Thanks for help!

Superb work!
