the SIMPLEST cnc PEN PLOTTER | how to build it

in this video I will show you how to build a new high quality Arduino based CNC pen plotter I designed. it's meant to be the simplest drawing robot you can build, in fact it is built only using some wire, a rubber band, some bearings, some cheap electronics, and a few 3d printed parts. this CNC pen plotter works on polar coordinates instead of cartesian, but don't worry, I will explain how to properly use it in my next video.
this CNC pen plotter is a great option if you want to get started with CNC pen plotters and Arduino, it's very easy to build, simple to use and cheap.

Bravo Davide!! As someone who started loooong ago to build vertical plotters to make big installations (up to 5m x 5m with a single plotter), I am _very_ impressed by your clever idea of the moving rubber bands. Kudos to you and keep up the good work! Antonio

[@MRMado-xh7dd]

hi is there a possibility of doing one without a CNC shield I am doing it for a school project

[@rusticagenerica]

@@MRMado-xh7dd yes ! You can always connect motor drivers ( you can't Not have motor drivers ) directly on the right pins of the Arduino.

[@alfem]

this is the most awesome polar plotter I have seen in years. I would like to mount it on a thin wooden frame, to try drawing on t-shirts and other surfaces.

[@4115steve]

great job man. Keep up the good work, it is helping a lot of people live a better life and that will lead you to great success. Keep up the great work, you're going to go far.

[@mrdrbernd]

That idea is fantastic! I modified my DIY-Makelangelo accordingly and I am overwhelmed. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@mheermance]

Really neat ideas and execution.

[@kimbalcalkins6903]

Thank you so much for sharing this, have been trying to solve this for more than a year ! I wanted to ask though, what type of cord or pulley surface reduces slippage ?

[@GayanJayawardane-ld4ob]

I watched your video as you did and did the same but there is no response from the motor, I used the latest devices for this.

[@andreagotti631]

Pretty cool! Thank you for your sharing.

[@drevnvs]

Can you give all the materials used?

[@JulianMakes]

Very beautiful machine!

[@MakerTutor101]

wow nice project Thank you for share this

[@cracksandwich]

yo bro I'm making this masterpiece for my thesis. I have already regretted a thousand times that I chose this, but there is no turning back. Is it possible to somehow contact you (or someone who has already collected it) for any questions?

[@CoolOmster]

Did you make it? If so, how?

[@neelshah372]

I have a problem related to this project how can I contact you??

You rock big time young man !

Wow man..!! loved it.!

This is VERY good

Please can you tell me the exact objects necessary to built this robot

esta chido el proyecto, pero no tengo una impresora 3d :c.

[@kinghoms9939]

Thank you very much for this video , Can i add a laser for it ?

[@aniketbarapatre929]

Cool bro can i make big bed size plotter with these idea

[@DAZprojects]

You can scale it to any size you want, but i suggest you to use gravity instead of a rubber band if you go a lot bigger

[@aniketbarapatre929]

@@DAZprojects thanks bro

[@aniketbarapatre929]

And bro I make big size plotter then I have to change the motors or not

[@Ghanzo]

What math do you need to do this? How do I fond the right math to apply? Trying to do this as well

[@Mcfazio2001]

Is this basically a core xy gantry? Could it work at high speeds?

[@dumdidumdumification]

Wow Awsome!

The MaslowCNC operates upon the same principle

Please tell me the length of the rope and elastic

[@megancollins5473]

Do you have a parts list so I know what to buy?

[@DAZprojects]

Unfortunately no

[@GayanJayawardane-ld4ob]

The adapter you use for this should have a mark (A).

[@markone4191]

So does it work after that?

[@markone4191]

Does it fix it then?

[@kmhooibg7577]

Nice project, but have you got any idea about the SIMPLEST cnc 3D printer?

[@armantape]

can you use Arduino Uno r3 and L293D as drivers?

[@aminansari1]

I'm trying to remake this, all is correct but when we start draw vector, then an error shows " Line is not on the page. Skipping it ". can you help me out of this

[@FelipeSilva-ld3gr]

Hi, do you still have the config file? the linked site is not opening

[@paolomotta9798]

hi, a question what is the "s to coolen gnd to gnd 5v to 5v" ?

[@piorism]

It means that the control of the small servo (yellow) is done through the pin originally intended for the coolant of a regular CNC. And then the current (red/brown) is 5v.

[@diogolima8339]

Hi. I love the vídeo. Do you have the code of this? I really need it. Thx

[@erikmueller3506]

It operates very similar to a MaslowNC which is open source
