Arduino Sand Plotter

This was our fall project over the semester. I had a lot of help from students especially from our mechatronics tech. Mark Morello who did a ton of wiring and all of the programming. Thanks Mark.
Thanks to DerKrawallkeks and Jeff from V1 Engineering who gave us the idea and was a massive help with guidance.

Nice work, thank you for the mention! I am super jealous of the edge lighting I really want to add it to my build.

[@jeffeberl12]

I really like that enclosure. Looks really neat and you can keep little fingers from danger.

Shapes, geometric patterns are nice. But when will these sand tables make a portrait of a face or a landscape?

[@alternervnich9418]

Well that looks pretty fantastic :) How much does the electronice macanics etc. might cost when you build it yourself? Thans in advance :)

[@muhammadichsan4732]

how to make the stainless ball move smoothly like sisyphus ?

[@benvanzweeden5566]

Hi, I am wanting to make one, is this the ZenXY machine because it looks quite different. And where do you get your g-code from?

[@benvanzweeden5566]

Did you have any problem with sound?

[@jeffreyalsop2789]

tim can we get a tutorial with some designs using the poly line and the arc? I do a lot of custom compound shapes and those tools seem to be difficult

[@SumriseHD]

Coming from MKBHD :D

[@PhocusJoe]

I am as well lol. I am building one of these!

[@SumriseHD]

@@PhocusJoe Oh so cool I wish I could that too... Do you have a website with instructions or something?

[@PhocusJoe]

@@SumriseHD no, but I have built 3d printers from scratch so honestly, this should be easier. Search hypercube on thingiverse.com that is a corexy design that should get you most of the way.

[@PhocusJoe]

@@SumriseHD also, feel free to ping me if you need some assistance

Neto!

I recently stumbled upon this and decided I had to make one. Programming really isn't my strong suit. You think you can help me with the code or could you please share it?

[@arielbelloni2007]

EXCELLENT MACHINE I'M CREATING SOMETHING LIKE, CAN YOU GIVE ME THE GCODE THAT DRAW YOUR MACHINE?

[@PhocusJoe]

Can you tell me how you generate the gcode for this project. If I use a normal slicer I will not get linear movement for patterns.

Tutorial?

[@willa1299]

what was the totally DIY cost?

[@junuhunuproductions]

Very 😎

Привет друг, можешь поделиться наработками данного проекта, давно мечтал сделать такой стол, но информации по нему очень мало, практически нету. Заранее спасибо.

[@tssimplesmentefilho8212]

Super first like.
