Considering you plan and built this in less than a few weeks is amazing sir. That's a project that would take most people months and not be as refined. I think the vinyl not being flat was the major issue.
Greate job as usual. I bought a ready made Circuit for my GRBL CNC, I had to carve out LCD cuts in 20 plastic encolsures, it took me at least 3 days before I was able to finish one without the circuit crashing and the PC loosing comunication with the circuit. I found that the disturbance cause by the spindle motor under stress was the problem, I had to rund the Spindle on a seperate power source.
For your next few episodes, can you design a big industrial sized vinyl and cardboard cutter with a powerful omnidirectional drag knife? Big CNC cutters are so useful. We need to open-source their design.
Amazing. What you build is truly awesome. It's very inspiring and I feel like with patience I can do it to. Since you've built a small cnc I suspect there's no reason a much bigger more powerful type cnc can be built. One that could cut wood and plastics
Amazing! On commercial vinyl plotters there is an additional small OD passive rubberized feed roller with a textured roller underneath the vinyl, very close to the head itself to hold the vinyl surface down tightly during cuts. Small issue though, the real work was in the electronics, nice project!
Someone wrote below about a passive roller. That is heading in the right direction. It actually needs to be a second powered Y roller the other side of the cutter, with the vinyl pinched to it by a sprung loaded roller from above. This is exactly the same as paper XY pen plotters from years gone by. With this arrangement, the tension can be kept on the vinyl instead of allowing it to ruck up against the cutter.
Great job putting this together. Effective mechanical performance is difficult to achieve. I witnessed a plotter for cutting that used a knife like an exacto knife that rotated in the cutting direction and reciprocated up and down for the cutting action. Build this one !!
Thanks man, great job! I've searching a vinyl plotter for quite a long time, but these are very expensive in my opinion. Thanks to your great work, I will also do it by myself and this tutorial will help me a lot!
Shouldn't you use the pulley tooth count and the belt pitch to calculate the steps per mm on the x axis? Great project btw cannot wait for v2 so I can build my own
A simplier way for calculating the steps without dimensions is to use the calculation... Say you want 100mm movement then you tell the gcode sender to move 100mm Then use... 100mm/moved distance x current steps/mm = new steps/mm. This is the calculation for 3D Printers and should work pretty much exactly the same for the vinyl cutter for calculating steps. Much simpler than using circumfrances and pully tooth counts which adds unnecessary math.
That is great, mechanics with bands and different rotor sizes but it is accurate and adaptive. I heard about dot matrix printers they had the same problem when starting and ending to prevent ink pointing they manually move the pinpointer to one side rims, I think the CNC is trying to draw when it tries to update the location in the same time but that is a very good project. ( Printer bugs )
Nice project, I think you'll be having some issues with the cutter digging in because of the offset to the pivot point. I.e. Skids as it feeds backward and digs in as it feeds forward. Better to use the servo directly to lift the cutter and spring loaded to engage the cutter vertically, then your pressure would be more consistant. Always compromises to be made when designing cheap/light weight projects though. Great video!
Very cool project, hoping to see the improved version. I'm planning to do something similar but instead will use an old printer as base structure where the roller system is already existent and reliable and then replace the printers DC motors for steppers and the ink jet carrier to a custom 3d printed holder. But your build it from scratch is a great learning experience too
maybe worth mentioning, the difference between a4899 and tmc2208 steppers is far more than just noise, the tmc will also give you a much cleaner motion with far less jittering... and they arent even THAT expensive anymore :)
Awesome project as always! I've been fan of your work for a year now and used many of your ideas in my projects, e.g. I used your AC PID and rotary encoder tutorials to build my automatic three vessel brewing system. Here is an idea for next video; A CNC automatic transformer winding machine like this project but this time using a lead screw to align the wire with turning bobin based on the wire size maybe?!
Electronoobs, relájate porfa, estoy haciendo tu proyecto de escopeta electrónica y ahorae sales con este proyecto que también quiero hacer. Relájate,😂🤣😂🤣💪👍🏻💪👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You might need a bigger one if you want to cut vinyl for the wings and so... But the machine is scalable, just increase the X axis size with longer rods.
Cool project I'm about to start assembling the boards, do you have a clear set of instructions of where each smd component goes on the board and what is the part number for the Mosfet that you use I ordered 5 boards so I might as well make one for the vinyl plotter and one for the CNC at the same time.
Instead of measuring the radius, I would have just measured the final distance between two far points on the final output, and scaled accordingly. Great job nonetheless!
I need your help in a hack where a 9w led driver is connected to a multimeter to check any led voltage drawn. Like this video.. how safe is this hack. Can you tell pros and cons about this hack. ua-cam.com/video/TK3l4Mq5cW8/v-deo.html
Hello my good friend. Great instructional video as always. Do you have any more boards for sale? I want to build one of these machines for my daughter for Christmas present. Thank you in advance. Have a great day.
Great project, I am looking at giving it a go in New Zealand. Is there any reason why I could substitute the drive board and nano, for a CNC Shield and UNO? I have both of those already.
Hice uno igual solo que no cierra los cortes por el desvío de la cuchilla, ya que el eje no está en el centro y no he encontrado alguna aplicación para solucionar esto.
Hello, thanks for sharing. I wonder if the servo motor can be replaced by an electromagnet. I have searched on the internet and everyone uses servo motors, but in my country it is very difficult to find them, it is much simpler to find or even build an electromagnet. It would be great if you could help me. Thank you.
Hi. I did just that. I used the Coolant pin as I dont use that. When selected by the appropriate Gcode I think its M7 and M8 maybe M9 (I used a multito check the pins) the Coolant pin goes high eg +5 volts. I connected this to an Arduino compatible 5 volt coil relay. The contacts on the relay when turned on connect 12 volts to my Solenoid.

You need bigger motor drivers to move big wood routers/mass.
Amazing!

You have really encourage me to build a 2 axis CNC machine, thanks!! Excelente video!

very nice project, i appreciate the hours used to design the 3d parts :-D
Thank you very much you are the best electronic engineer on UA-cam I will get this and maybe will modify it to make a 3d printer
Great job putting this together. Effective mechanical performance is difficult to achieve. I witnessed a plotter for cutting that used a knife like an exacto knife that rotated in the cutting direction and reciprocated up and down for the cutting action. Build this one !!
@D M Yes, exactly what I was trying to describe.
Thanks man, great job! I've searching a vinyl plotter for quite a long time, but these are very expensive in my opinion. Thanks to your great work, I will also do it by myself and this tutorial will help me a lot!
nice idea putting the capacitors under the stepper drivers like this.
It's a sweet project. People pay a fortune for those. I have everything but the cutter to make like 20 of them haha
Shouldn't you use the pulley tooth count and the belt pitch to calculate the steps per mm on the x axis? Great project btw cannot wait for v2 so I can build my own
Great project! Never seen a dyi vinyl cutter before. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing!
You could use pick up rollers from laser printer to push paper. It is possible to get them from any printer repair service almost for free
A simplier way for calculating the steps without dimensions is to use the calculation...
Say you want 100mm movement then you tell the gcode sender to move 100mm
Then use...
100mm/moved distance x current steps/mm = new steps/mm.

You need a sticky cutting mat for vinyl cutters. This will keep your material flat. Nice project!
This is super cool. Thank you for sharing all the files, on my way to build this 🙂

Always compromises to be made when designing cheap/light weight projects though. Great video!
Nice! TPU might help with the wheels.
Would be really cool to create a new tool head for a regular 3d printer that did this.
Very cool project, hoping to see the improved version. I'm planning to do something similar but instead will use an old printer as base structure where the roller system is already existent and reliable and then replace the printers DC motors for steppers and the ink jet carrier to a custom 3d printed holder.

Realy very informative as well as inspiring ,it's confident builder for new bird too
run like old plotter HP7475 good job
maybe worth mentioning, the difference between a4899 and tmc2208 steppers is far more than just noise, the tmc will also give you a much cleaner motion with far less jittering... and they arent even THAT expensive anymore :)
Ooo. man you are Pro.
great work
super
You could have just put the servo on the cutter head and ran the wire to it, instead of using the long rod. This will save money and weight.

Siempre me ha atraído la idea de tener un plotter.
Excellent! Definitely going to make that.
Electronoobs, relájate porfa, estoy haciendo tu proyecto de escopeta electrónica y ahorae sales con este proyecto que también quiero hacer.
Relájate,😂🤣😂🤣💪👍🏻💪👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Make sure you use a software that takes in account for the blade tip offset, otherwise you'll have artifacts when changing direction
Top!! Acompanho seus vídeos e são muito bons.
I ned one for my rc models! Love it!!!!!
You might need a bigger one if you want to cut vinyl for the wings and so... But the machine is scalable, just increase the X axis size with longer rods.
@@ELECTRONOOBSyour rigth! Cool idea anyway!
Waiting for solar charge controller & nextion series.......
Exelente proyecto esperado la V2 saludos
Wow! Amazing set up!
Cool project I'm about to start assembling the boards, do you have a clear set of instructions of where each smd component goes on the board and what is the part number for the Mosfet that you use I ordered 5 boards so I might as well make one for the vinyl plotter and one for the CNC at the same time.
Lazer Cutting is best for this I think. Rather than going for this machine. But anyhow great work. I love all your other projects but not this one.
Where can I find that vinyl cutter. Help
Espectacular este trabajo, como todos. Saludos
Instead of measuring the radius, I would have just measured the final distance between two far points on the final output, and scaled accordingly. Great job nonetheless!
Banana for scale. Nice one :)
As always very informative video... thank you for this tutorial. 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻

Why not use a 3rd stepper for Z axis? And add a spring loaded cutter.
Hello my good friend. Great instructional video as always. Do you have any more boards for sale? I want to build one of these machines for my daughter for Christmas present. Thank you in advance. Have a great day.
Great job. Thank you for sharing.
Great job. Great motivation for me.
this is a cool project!

Cool build !
Hice uno igual solo que no cierra los cortes por el desvío de la cuchilla, ya que el eje no está en el centro y no he encontrado alguna aplicación para solucionar esto.
awesome! great work!
Nice build
Excelente proyecto! ya experimente con un cnc, estoy con una nueva impresora 3d y me interesa mucho el poder armar un plotter. Gracias!
Nice project!
how to generate the gcode? I used my servo extension in inkscape and it doesn't move the servo. use 4axis pen servo and they don't move the servo.
I've been trying for 6 months now but the servant doesn't
I don't know what else to do!!
Nice project ;)
hi.. thx for very instructive tutorial.. question: can You make large format XY Plotter like ProSail does? or help me to make it and get paid for
If I'm driving the y-axis with 2 stepper Motors, could I wire both of them to the same servo controller on the cnc shield?
🆒 Thank you so much for uploading this video.
👍👍👍👍👍
Sharing with community 🇵🇰
PCB look like the standard GRBL (CNC) NANO board. Are there any differences?
Dear electronoobs
Can we make stepper motor control using CD drive motor controller ICs using arduino please make a proto type
#Request plz add auto registration mark detection feature in second version.
super its cool
what if you built it like a printer so y movement is controlled by moving the vinyl back and forth on a roller?
Congratulations, very nice project. What preparation do you use for cutting?
Would crowned free rolling wheels hold the belt better (like bandsaws)?
Excellent.
I wonder if a hot wire styrofoam cutter can be derived from your device ?…
Tell me, can I connect the laser module?
so in order to make a cnc plotter you need to have a 3d printer?
Excellent
Look at the Cricut machine; you need a rigid backing, a cutting mat !
what if you use a small laser, less drag.?
Hi i need help with my arduino cnc mechine can you help
Awesome.
How invert z exis?

Hola Bro podrías hacer este proyecto en español porfavor, 🙏🏻
Is it possible to use this controller in offline mode? Can you please explain?
Great!
What's up my friend 😊
all fine here :)))
Muito bom.
