There are many projects to recycle old DVD players into a mini CNC Plotter based on Arduino. It is a nice project and ideal to start with its Arduino.
The mechanical construction and more particularly the pencil holder can be difficult. I propose in this article to realize a mini plotter by realizing the mechanical elements by 3D printing. We will use two L293D H bridges to drive the engines of the DVD players.
We find it for in China. You can develop your mini CNC Plotter directly from this post. You can buy all components on internet or DIY store. 2 old CD/DVD players. 2 wires 22AWG (green) 15cm (0.6 in). 2 wires 22AWG (red) 15cm (0.6 in). 2 wires 22AWG (white) 15cm (0.6 in).
1x plywood sheet 200 x 160mm (7.87 in x 6.3 in) for X Axis.Thickness: 10mm (0.39in) or 5mm plexiglass (0.2 in). 2x plywood sheet 150 x 50mm (5.91 in x 0.2 in) for Y Axis. 1x plexiglass plate (0.2 in) 76 x 76 mm (size of a post it, 3 x 3 in). or glue to fix servo.Step 2: Prepare translation systemsDismantle the old DVD players to get the translation system with the stepper motor. Stepper Motor and DVD player translation system ready to use. Step 3: Prepare stepper motors (X and Y axis)It’s better to sold the wires on the flexible connector. You may have problems if you sold directly on the stepper motor.
If you can, try to use 4 different colors, one for each Pin. There is no identification on the engine but the connection is quite simple. The first wire corresponds to the first output of the L293D (usually) and so on.Step 4: Print 3D partsYou can download the STL files of this project on. Part3D designNumberMounting brackets (X axis)4xSpacers8xBreadboard spacers4xZ axis basis1xPencil case (8mm diam.)1xPencil anti-tilt ring1xI prefer to use because it’s an environmental friendly and non toxic material. If you print all parts, you need about 3 hours.
I use the French 3D printer.Step 5: Prepare the plywood structureJust cut the 3 parts (see the BOM for dimensions) Step 6: Prepare the circuitThe circuit is really easy as you can see bellow. One L293D for each axis and a servo motor for the Z-axis. Arduino Uno Step 7: Assembling the Mini CNC Plotter X and Y AxisUse 4 spacers and 4 screws M4 x 30mm to assembling the X axis on the playwood (200 x 160mm).
Do the same for the Y axis. Use the picture bellow to setup the position of elements. Finally attach the Y axis on the vertical uprights.
The height is not important, we just need to adjust the position of the pen in its holder. Drawing surfaceUse a glue gun to fix the drawing surface on the axis. To find the good position move the stepper motor to the max. Position and fix it.
Hi, very, very good project, I see that many people have been successful.I have uploaded TestXAxisCNCPlotter and Y, and my engines have good movement.I have a problem with gctrl.pde and gctrl.exe, but I do not know why. My engines have no movement with gctrl.
Select the serial port (OK), use the arrows and no movement, load a gcode image with (G) and no movement. I do not know where the problem is.You help me? Thank youMy beta-CNC without Arduino, only router with OpenWRT and L293 driver.
Does not interpret GCODE yet.
