Build Log
Starting Point
- Kit from garagefab.cc to build XY Plotter
- Mechanical parts:
- ...
- Electronic parts:
- 1 Arduino Diecimilia
- 2 RepRap Stepper Motor Driver v1.2
- 2 Stepper Motor
- Software:
- Arduino IDE
- GCode
- ...
- Mechanical parts:
- ATX Power Supply (240v- 250W)
- Tools
Step 1: Building X Axis
- ...
Step 2: Building Y Axis / Frame
- ...
Step 4: Setting up Motors / Transmissions
- ...
Step 5: Wiring-up the system
- ...
Step 6: Arduino, Softwares, and G-Code
- Arduino 0016
- Arduino Sketch to drive stepper motor (from RepRap project)
- Download RepRap Firmware (v1.3) and follow instructions
- Upload sketch onto Arduino
- Now your Arduino waits for G-Code instructions on its serial port.
- G-Code instruction handler
- Download and Install ReplicatorG from here
- G-Code generator
- You can use Cam.py to generate G-Code from images (SVG, JPG, ...)
General Comments
- Sketch-up model:
- Would be great to use a color code for the different part types.
- Would be good to have a unique label for each part to help feedback clarity (e.g. Letter - Number, D-6, Letter=part-type, Number=instance index)
- Mechanics
- Difficult to tighten bolts that are under axis
