DIY 3 axis CNC plotter out of old printers
Loading...
Uploaded by themrworf1701 on Jun 19, 2011
My CNC machine made out of old printers, the project cost only $ 20 for electronics, all you need are a couple of old printers and old CD-ROM, I might make a video how to make electronics for those who do not know how to make a control board (stepper drivers)... Enjoy the video!
P.S. I use the Mach3 software for controlling the machine and i have no idea who is the author of drawn picture, i just downloaded it from devart..

Can you do a video of it printing a document. I guess it would have to be in cursive though.

@moffett8 epson and cannon printers, all 3 axis motors are stepper motors, and i will make instructable, but i have no time lately , but i will make, i promise!

What brand of printers did you use? I have an Epson I could use and the motor for the Y axis is just an electric motor with an encoder strip. I don't know of any way to control this type of motor. Is your machine only driven by stepper motors? I'd like to see the instructions on how to make the boards>

@Ihsahn3159 Thanks! :) I spent 50$ on electronic parts for motherboard.. If you have old printers, you can make it!

mesmerizing! :) i'm currently working on a small floppy cnc that will also use a pen to draw things using mach3, and i was wondering how you managed to make the JPEG image into g-code :o did you paste it into a CAD program?
thanks!

@JRFrain I do it in silly way but effective! xD I take image and import it in Font Creator program, save as font, and put it in Desk engrave and make G-code! It's fast and great way!
