just FYI for matt and anyone else who might read this - do not constrain the free end of the lead screws. The lead screw is there to provide linear motion *only* . The V-rail extrusion is there to provide the straight alignment on that axis. By constraining the free end you are actually fighting the straightness of the lead screw against the straightness of the aluminium extrusion, and the extrusion will have *far* tighter tolerances than the lead screw (especially on a cheap machine). This can cause a regular wave pattern in the Z axis of the printer (which might already be present if the lead screw is manufacture bad enough - i've personally received printers with screws out of the box that might as well have been bananas given the bend - but rest assured constraining the end will only make it worse. The only solution to a bad lead screw is a new lead screw)

FYI Gcode does allow for looping and "if" statements. You can have conditional loops and subprograms/macros. This was much more common when people were programming by hand on machines running on a pre DOS computer with next to no memory. Generally with more modern machines, the memory is not a limitation anymore and we all just program with CAM, so there isn't much need for being conscious of file size. Great video as always, keep up the good work!

It's interesting how while the zen garden thingy was trying to do the circles it decided to go about the same radius a different way because the feature it was trying to draw was not a complete circle with a center point. I am a machinist and do a lot of conversational machining, so it's interesting to see what the code is actually doing when it decides to do that very same thing with my mill! Fortunately, my mill shows me the arc before it just plunges into the material though haha.

3:04 constraining the Z-axis like that can actually be really hurtful to 3D prints. Your application didn't require a too high level of precision, but with these cheaper printers it's not guaranteed that the rod is 100% straight, causing the gantry to shift significantly when you get closer to the center of the rod.

I have wanted to do this for a while but my plans were to have a steel ball under the sand and a magnet on the arm underneath. That couldn't place items on it though. Now I'm thinking something less mechanical on top like a single segmented arm with the stylus on the end. There have been some experimental 3D printers built like that, with an arm with a shoulder and elbow joint to move in two dimensions. I think there's already Marlin code in existence for this setup.
