This the way it should be done, no complications easy to understand its very clear and less confusing.Very comfortable to follow. Thanks alot

I'm interested in making grbl cnc, so I'm watching several videos, but this one seems to be the best^^ I can feel the whole process at a glance~ Good video I'm very grateful to watch it again!

I built the same project yesterday and it works awesome flawlessly

Thank you MI, for providing the necessary links, especially for the Inkscape extension. I was able to complete the circuit part of the project and test it. The stepper motors and the servo work as expected (My Inkscape version: 0.91). You need to carry out one correction: At 6:38, the resistance is shown at top left corner as "1.6 Ohm". It should be 1.6 K Ohms.

Thanks for complete guie and full ddetailsThis will iinspire me and many to DIYBecause you make it so easy and simple Thanks again

Very nice and interesting this tutorial .. after many hours of searches and surfing on the net we finally found what we are looking for ... thank you and appreciate the quality of the video tutorial ....Congratulations!

Excellent video! I love the way you re-purposed so many parts to build this, but it looks really cool, and runs great! This would be great for introducing CNC concepts, thanks!

Thank you so much for give so many information about the grbl and inkscape software ....but also make one video on how to install g-code sender software in Windows 8.1

Thank you for this tutorial. Its impressive. Greatings from Germany

"Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected." When I get to this part: 13:22 this pops up ↑↑↑

Very usefull information for me, I already made it. thankq

nice video! fairly clear. the piece of software is the hardest. thank you! Rob.

Thank you so brother........... finally i too could make it........ can u pls edit description and migrbl link to it.

i am studying your project now...

thanks, it is exciting project, it has full thing I need to build cnc mini

Hye Man you win it all by replaying, to be a real Mr Innovative you just need not to publish DIY but to support people and teach them as well, and you have got everything in you, much much appreciate for that. now back to my concern how do I do it? I only see option in inkscape under MI-GRBL- Zaxis to set the degree it servo should turn but it do not allow to do negative turn which I need in order to reverse the move, I am using server Tower Pro Micro Servo 9g (SG90), please explain the step by step process to reverse the servo move, currently it down the pen rather upwards when move from one point to other point to start writing, and the best place to mount server is as you have shown only, installing other side will reduce the Y movement :(

There is no extension like MI GRBL Z-AXIS Servo Controller in this Inkscape application, please help me out

I make a cnc machine same like this my x axis and y axis stepper motors are working properly but my servo is not working properly. Can you please help me

Very useful for beginner, thank

Hey i want to make a cnc number printing plotter machine, problem is that, when i want to print a number using stepper motors then i upload my Gerber file when it works, but when i want to change my printing number then again go to pc, and chnage the Gerber file then upload, my work is not so great, i just want to print some numbers using stepper motors. so Arundio IDE have any library to without using Gerber i change my number from keypad and display. This is my collage project, please KZfaq help me,

We are trying to make cnc with Arduino mega 2560 and cnc shield and A4988 steeper motor driver. We have uploaded GRBL code from open source. But the moters are doing vibrate only. We have checked several times connection is correct. We just seen an error : 22 on GRBL controller. Pls help me out ASAP.

Bro please guide me. My servo motor is not working. I did same settings and attachments but. When i plugged in arduino it stops at same point always. And does not do any movement please. Help.

Thank you Mr Innovative for this great effort - It isH-Bridge Stepper driver integrated project I tried to apply it but using L298 I found my motor is doing sound but not moving neither X nor Y I uploaded a sketch to check the 2 stepper motors they are running well Where do you think is my problem? Many thanks in adavnce

Thank you so much!!! The best tutorial video I've ever seen...I'll test it in the morning!... I had some problems uploading GRBL..but now I think I can fix it,because of you ! Allready Subscribed ! But...how about connecting 6 wire medium stepper motors to CNC shield ? Waiting for your reply, Thanks ! You're awesome

Hello Great video thank you for uploading it. From about 15 videos I looked at this was by far the most informative.. However I believe there is an error on 5:13 servo plugging. The servo should be connected not to +z Endstop, but to SpnEn. If you look at the inkscape zmotor routine at 12:44 you will se that the pen unp/down setting is connected to the 90 degree M3 instruction. I looked up in google what this M3 instruction is and it is Spin Enable (SpnEn). I am away on trip so it will be a couple days before I can verify this but I believ that may allow many users to have a functioning z drive.

Parabéns , muitíssimo obrigado o meu projetinho funcionou ....

hi Mr Innovative i have finaly managed to get mine working but could you tell me how to speed it up. keep the videos coming, you are the best on you tube at explaining, many thanks.

Hi, very good video !! I have a problem. I set everything up as uested says, but the servo motor goes down when it is at x0 y0 and it is doing lines, that is the servo does not get up when it has to go from one place to another, or also when the job ends the servo stays down, Instead of climbing Greetings from Argentina!

Hey, great Video^^ I want to make my own cnc machine, have same parts like you (Arduino Uno, V3 Shield) Now i want to replace step motor for Z-Axis into servor-motor. Build it like you, but my servo don't work :(

Everything is fine, except that servo motor rotates continuously anticlockwise. Pls help me.

I have problem appear in program inkspace : File "servo.py", line 52 def bezierslopeatt(((bx0,by0),(bx1,by1),(bx2,by2),(bx3,by3)),t): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Hi, thank you for that video I have one question about the end stops : On your drawing, I see switches on the end stop wires, are they physical switch buttons or it is managed by gbrl? Could you light me up about this? What is the exact wiring for the end stops, sorry for my bad english and my non-knowlege of electronics ;) Regards

Thank you very much Mr. Innovative.

I am unable to operate servo motor with the same set up of adrino uno card. Can you suggest improve area to operate servo motor for up and down motion

hello, i have made the same from a4988 stepper but my motor only vibrate it doesn't move i also tried to change resistance of stepper but it doesn't make any change , I'm using 5v,2amp adapter please help me.

Hi I've assembled all the supplies to make a cnc machine I. Physical supplies 1 _2 cut dvd rom old 2_ 1 servomotor 3_ pen 4 feeding 5 volts 5_ sheild l293d Second logistics supplies Arduino Ono 2_ AccelStepper-master library 3_ adafruit-Adafruit-Motor-Shield-library-fb5b17c library 4_code for Arduino program 5_ Grbl program to upload photos $ Note Everything has come to me well However, the printed images are distorted, a meaningless talisman Is it helpful to overcome this problem and thank

How do you determine the step settings for each motor? such as which pins under the drivers to use jumpers on and what settings to use on the G code sender? in my case I'm using the Universal GCode Sender (java)

Hello I did as mentioned and got this error : Traceback (most recent call last): File "servo.py", line 3172, in e.affect() File "D:\Soft Bank\inkscape\share\extensions\inkex.py", line 283, in affect self.effect() File "servo.py", line 3156, in effect self.orientation( self.layers[min(0,len(self.layers)-1)] ) File "servo.py", line 3085, in orientation doc_height = inkex.unittouu(self.document.getroot().get('height')) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'unittouu

Hello friend... I made exactly what you did, even change the GRBL Values. But i don't know why the CNC makes very small my spiral draw, even if i put the correct values like you. For example if i make a square with 40mm long, the CNC just travels like 15mm... What could be the problem? Thank you !!

Make a video to a topic how to control cnc grbl using Android (Bluetooth)

i use shield cnc v3 and A4988 and dvd reader like you just i want to be sure about shield alimentation is 12v/0.5A or 12/2A ???

I've been trying for 6 months now but the servant doesn't I don't know what else to do!!

Hi bro. I need hepl. I made everything same as you did.x and y is going on But pen control motor is not working??. Do you have an any idea?? At the same time i have problems with the speed of steppers. They are too fast.

by applying 12v 1amp. stepper motor becomes too hot, what should i do to stop it from getting hot?

It shows No supported kill alarm lock method for this version

Hello! I do the same thing like video at 13:36 and when click to Apply the message window " 'MI GRBl Z-AXIS Servo Controller' working, please wait" appear and still working. What I do now? I tried refresh few times but is the same problem. :/

Hi, I'm trying to make the mini CNC machine but using A4988 modules and arduino shield instead of L293D but it seems not to be able to work properly. I used processing 3 to run the gcode that I created using inkscape. What could be the problem?

Hye, I must say one of the best detailed explained project on the web for DVD drive mechanics CNC using shield, I build it and everything is working ok but servo is working on wrong direction, and limit switch doesn't seems to working. any help pls?

Replace line « doc_height = inkex.unittouu(self.document.getroot().get(‘height’)) » by « doc_height = self.unittouu(self.document.getroot().xpath('@height', namespaces=inkex.NSS)[0]) » in C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\share\extensions\servo.py

Hello sir, I make CNC mahine with Adreno board, cnc shield and A4988 stepper motor driver, but in my case our 1 motor works in good condition and other 2 motor works very slow or some times not work properly. If we touch motor it vibrates , but it dont run.I try to adjust A4988 driver screw , but dont effect so much on motor .So please guide me, i need your help

Hello, you know why my machine does not draw symmetrically Circles and squares. And the measure of line length is not the measure I drew in Inkscape. Thanks

Excellent video

bro i make machine like you and i also code them i not understand when i run after certain stepper motor heat up and i changed stepper motor please reply and tell me how much voltage and ampere i used

Thank you for you, I work for the same project,but I have a problem for power ,I do not (know how much I need (volts, ampere

when you measured the resistance from one end to the wiper of the current control pot,did you measure 1k6 ohms or 1R6 ohms,as the meter looked to be set to 20k ohm position,while on screen has 1.6ohm,and i measure the pot end to end at 10K ohm,1.6ohm would be hard to find on such a large resistance track. Also,when you use Grbl controler,what steps per mm did you use,i had to input 5.8 steps/mm to get close to 1mm,while some people using cd/dvd steppers use 50-55 steps/mm,i'm new to the arduino cnc,but i'm a qualified electronics technician,hope you can clear up the pot and step issue for me,thanks.

Its works..👍👍👍

i got to make one some day

I Tried to Generate G-Code as your instructions(using Extension-MI GRBL Z-Axis Servo Controller) but it comes Error message like this "Inkscape has received additional data from the script extended. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the result will not be as expected." tell me reason for this?? window 7 64 bits my configrusion

Also when the servo is attached my computer wont recognize the Arduino, unplug from 5v/gnd and it works right away. Any idea why this may b happened?

Please i want complete tutorial for inks cap i have pro blame ,,when i open Mi grbl z axis when click on apply error massage appear and not work properly

Hello,Good job Mr Innovative

In my DVD drive DC motor only available... In otherwise what kind of motors will be replace??

u save the g code as test.gcode but while testing it beecame test 02.gode how

Hello again, download the version that you told me, and I got the G-code to run perfectly. But I have a last problem and I followed the installation step by step of your connection of cables of the servo and I do not get that raise the pencil. You know that it can be? X and y are moving well but z (servo) impossible. Thank you and greetings friends.

hi good to see you. your youtube is useful for me, so I decide to make cnc machine too. but I have some problem, i need to solve this promblem. Can I ask some question to you. Aduino and Cnc Shield(v2.01) is combined, and then usb plug is connected. but It happens to heat at Aduino uno I don't know why. If you know that, could you inform me?

how to solve this error at my project ""Directory does not exist! Please specify existing directory at options tab!"

Love it man

in arduino program ,How change pulse/ rev for other motors .is this same for any stepper motors.

Sorry Thank you Mr Innovative for this great effort I mean it is an integrated project I tried to apply it using L298 H-Bridge Stepper motor driver I did all the steps but my motors did not move only making sound any tips?

Bro u are awesome man!!!

ขอบคณะสำหรับทุกสิ่ง thank you

help me plz what to do with that C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\pythonw.exe: can't open file 'servo.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Beatifull. I just want to know why the servomotor does not work Thank you..very Thank you

it"s me again: sir mr. innovative i did everything motor is working fine but it grtting hot, i wish if you could help .

i used nema 17 stepper motors.id didn't work.plz reply me.thank you

Stopper switch are that important.?

is this work also for 3d printer i mean can i make 3d printer from the same parts ( arduino and shield ) ???

Mr..innovative,can I use DRV 8825 stepper driver in place of A4988 stepper driver? For this change do I hv to make change in software?pls explain in details. Thanks

Bro mera servo wala axis kam nhi kr rha h baki puri machine sahi km kr rhi h mera servo bhi theek h mene check kr liya plz help

Bro you might have flipped one wire of stepper motor that is why it is making that noise and not making perfect sketch.

not for the result but i loved the configuration of the softwares

Excellent Video

i am using the drv8825 stepper motor driver , will it works the same ? plz help

Is the 2 pin jumper is necessary for the CNC shield v3 board ?

Hello, I recently tried to build a CNC drawing machine by using CNC sheild v3, a4988 stepper drivers with loaded grbl firmware in Arduino UNO. when I tried to axis control by using grbl controller, only x-axis steppr will move, y- axis stepper doesn't moves but when I unplug the x-axis stepper, then y-axis stepper starts moving , both steppers not moving together, only x- stepper moves when both steppers are in connected with cnc shield. Can anybody tell what problem is this....?

how to incraze workig speed cnc arduino plz help

Como ajusto o ângulo do servo motor ? Ele está girando a 180°. Onde faço o ajuste pra 90° ?

Bro, I need help to build this one, please help me

excellante my friend keep going

Hello, I really like your commitment to us to learn programming, but I can not understand why when I open the program UniversalGcodeSender "Machine status" Work and position Machine position X, Y and Z are always 0, Do you know the reason?

The KG130 5V Stepper Motor 28j 48 will be use????

شكرا جزيلا الله يوفقك

What version did you use? i can't save the gcode file

I don't have buttons on my cd so will it work?

Why is the limit switch only on the one side? Thanks

que version de inkscape se ocupa

not generating a g code it is showing some error how to troubleshoot that problem

Where did you make the servomotor lifting device.......Up, down lifting system
