The video demonstrates my experimental A4 plotter. Each of the yellow parts are 3D printed which makes construction simple.The timing belt runs inside the the metal pipes supporting the print-head. The plotter is 100% Inkscape compatible. The plotter runs a modified version of GRBL-Servo. Files are sent to the plotter using Universal Gcode Sender.
Construction details and STL files are posted here www.instructables.com/CNC-Plo...

Single belt, holy moly Saw the layout you draw and it kinda feels like this could be used as cheaper alternative to core XY / better alternative to Cartesian. Not sure how well it would perform but theoretically we could stack belts vertically to handle higher accelerations as there's no crossing in belt

Only one belt is required. GRBL is configured for CoreXY.

@@qualityphotos1 You literally written as, I'm not that dumb! Higher print speed means belt should barely stretch even under High acceleration. Since this design has no crossing unlike Core XY this is only 1-belt high. Which means.. we can put 2 of this (maybe even mirrored so every axis is balanced) at same vertical space of core XY. That means we have double the belt pulling the printer head, more acceleration we can achieve! Might try that when I can get hand on the parts

hey hi , good to see your video, its very good performances 👏, i need your support regarding software, can you tell which version of grbl you are using and how you are generating g.code from it , i assembled my machine but i don't know how to setup software for that , i know how to use UGS ,i need support for inscape to generate g.code from drawing and z servo up and down mechanism, can you help me by telling this details

Thank you for your interest in my plotter. Construction details and code is in this link www.instructables.com/CNC-Plotter-1/

I have a pen plotter constructed. My problem is the software. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work correctly. The one I built how ever is not a XY core type. Mine has two nema 17 motors for X & Y and a servo for Z. I cannot get Z to do anything.

Follow the instructions and wiring diagram in the link below this video except code line 189 in config.h must be commented out for your arrangement. Try another servo if it doesn't work ... they have a habit of failing if you've manually moved the arm.

@@qualityphotos1 I finally figured it out. I was putting the modified files in the wrong location. It works now.
