How to use Writing Machine - 2D Pen Plotter Setup and Use
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2022
- Hi friends, this is the long awaited video in which i have explained how to use the writing machine aka 2D Plotter i have made in the previous video.
i have explained everything you need to know to operate the machine. from firmware upload, software to use the machine, and software in which you can create text or graphics to plot on the 2d plotter.
UPDATE: Writing machine V2 upgraded version complete build video
available here: • How to Make Homework W...
Part List, BOM and Design files Links: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
the machine uses GRBL firmware which can be uploaded through the arduino IDE.
NOTE: the servo motor requires a modified version of the GRBL code. it will not work with the standard GRBL available online. i have modified the GRBL to work with the servo, you can download it from the link below.
Design and GRBL Files: bit.ly/3A5mMzf
once GRBL firmware is uploaded, you can operate the machine using Universal Gcode Sender. using UGS, you can run gcode files on the machine, send gcode commands, or even manually control the machine using the jog controller.
finally i explain how to create gcode files using inkscape. you will need to add additional plugins to inkscape in order to enable gcode generation.
i have mentioned all the file links below:

Great project, I’ve been using my one for about a week now and that’s pretty much how I have been using my one but good to have a ready made grbl file (that was half my battle). I’ve done a couple of small mods which include, making the rail holes smaller of the lifter and drilling out with a 1/8 bit after it has printed, added washers at end of springs, put a hole on the front side of the gripper so screw is easy to adjust and lastly added 2 springs side by side on the gripper so it holder some smoother pens.
Great job very clear !
nice way of teaching thanks
Was waiting for that!
Great job!
The best - I will make one
Very nice! How about a multiple color change version?
question - I want to modify grbl1.1, same as you did for 0.9. can you share the list of changes you did for 0.9 to support the servo (or at least a link to where I can find the instructions? thanks!!
I really liked your project, watched your video five times and wanted to make such a design. please download the files STl
How do you do the wiring for the power supply to cnc shield?
Nice video. What if I want to make a colored drawing or painting?
Can you tell me what I need to do so when I home my machine the pen (servo) moves up and not drop down and drag along the work surface? Whenever I run the home command (I have homing switches installed for X and Y only) the servo lowers and the pend ends up dragging across my work surface and it ruins my job. Thanks!
how do you use it on a 20x30 in. paper size? is it only for small paper sizes like A3 or notebooks?
please help me fix this issue , following your tutorial ,im using cnc shield v3 and arduino uno r3 , i have uploaded the grbl 9 firmware and the machine gets detected is ugs too , when i try to move the servo or run the motors using jogger it dosent work .
Nice
Hola estimado felicidades muy buen proyecto me encantaría que hagas un tutorial como crear nuestra propia fuente para la máquina
Excellent
Can you make videos of writing text in single line like Hershey text
Thanks
Nice effort, good video.😀
it is possible make on Arduino Mega 2560 + Ramps 1.4 + Stepper Motor Driver A4988
what hair do you use to wire the motors?
for the 2020 V SLOT ALUMINIUM EXTRUSION PROFILE what does it mean by 500mm optional
Здравствуй уважаемый автор, мне очень понравилось Ваше видео. Спасибо. Подскажите, реально ли сделать скорость рисования быстрее?
When I have my pen plotter draw the outline technique how do I make it so that only one line is drawn not two.
Hello, I've a question. I've build it but I gonna make it in a A3 paper, what parameter of Gcode sender I should modify and with what values? thanks and congrats for your job
no need to modify any values. just make sure max travel distance is set to your machine axis travel length. thank you for your appreciation
@@SuperbTech Perfect
Ciao, the Mac version of Inkscape does not have the extensions folder. I create the folder, put the files inside but it does not work. I can't create the Gcode, there's another way to do it? grazie Simone
Can we speed up the writing time ?
where do we have the 4xiDraw &km laser file and where to get it from
The is any way you can convert this small machine on a glue plotter?
I have my plotter up and running but have the issue of Inkscape creating gcode that makes whatever drawing I want plot twice. Any idea what is happening?
We need a way to print the text sequentially, and not in fragments, so that different languages work. The font was handwritten so that the course could be printed out in a reasonable amount of time.
Pay for the customization
👌
Would you Plz solve my issue!!! My machine is not moving in x and y- direction. It moves in +, direction whether press the x+ or x- or y+ and Y... Plz resolve my problem
we can write using our own handwriting, each person has different handwriting we can write in different handwriting or just using font alone
Bro my servo is not working with the cnc shield plz help me..
Can it photocopy text?
How can I enable limit switches in GRBL and/or UGS? Also can I also set the machine size somewhere in GRBL or UGS? Thanks!
I have figured it out.
@@IsmaelPR32 can u pls tell?
@@onlyforstudies2361 I got rid of my machine I needed the space. I can't recall how I did it to be honest.
Does it write your handwriting too?
I watched every video of how to use it's software,literally nobody showed how to write on ruled book of any size which is what we require,we don't use blank pages so much!!!
Is there any video for this on yt
Or , if you know how to use it for ruled pages then please tell me
Hello, I did everything according to your video. The programs work, the X and Y motors rotate correctly. But the servo is activated only once when starting work. Manually, when I write m03 s250 or m03 s90, the servo goes to the same position and does not move until restart. What could be wrong, what settings affect the server?
I found the answer myself. The team with my servo can't have a need for more than 90. this is m03 s90
how did you make it work on 5000 feed rate? my steppers are releasing star wars gun sounds, when I change rate to 320 they work just fine but the way to the sketch is endless.
I have created a larger format machine but I am getting an Inkscape error when I try to generate gcode files with large document size. Standard page size works fine.
when you open Inkscape -1 goto FILE ,2 sselect Document properities 3, now change the page width and height to match what you need.........also look over all of the available selections and change to what you need.
Hello,
I assembled the machine but I can't seem to generate functional gcode.
It's not lifting the pen.
Could someone provide me with a working gcode so I can check if the issue is hardware or software related?
Thank you for your help :) !
Great job! Thanks for sharing. The first 3 links above do not work for me (server not found) How could I download your STL files and the others, e.g. Thingiverse!
i have updated BOM sheet link in video description. stl files link also there. you're welcome!
@@SuperbTech Thanks a lot!
an error was detected while sending 0s30 error excepted command letter. streaming has been paused how to solve this error
What kind of g codes it uses, please let me know.
where to buy it and how expensive?
Can the Inkscape program write Thai characters?
Hello needs guidance modifications
My printer is printing mirror image how can i fix it?
big whell or small whell use in your project?
big wheel
@@SuperbTech thank's
Hi superb tech, are you could give me the files you made with 3D printing please
I have uploaded GRBL to my Arduino Uno board and setup UGS. I can connect and move the servo up and down but the stepper motors aren't responding at all. X or Y. Any ideas?
have you added microstepping jumpers on the CNC shield under the motor drivers? also you need to configure steps per mm, or x y feedrate, in UGS firmware configuration
@@SuperbTech I have not added micro stepping jumpers under the motor drivers am I supposed to? UPDATE: I got the motors to work correctly now, it was a bad board. I got a new one. How do I go about enable homing limit switches which I installed? Do I need to make edits to GRBL and reupload as well as edits in UGS? Thanks!
I have figured this out myself.
@@SuperbTech This no longer an issue.
@@IsmaelPR32 bro i need your help . my motors and servo both arent working , ive tried to move the motors using jogger and servo using console dosent work but ugs detects the machine just fine , it shows idle . regarding the jumpers , i dont have jumper caps so i soldered them from below the board , should do just fine , but now how do i get the motors to work?
I purchased stls and BOM, but there is no mention of limit switches as shown being connected in video. Can u update BOM and show mechanical installation, please?
there are no limit switches in the machine
I guess I was confused by the schematic at 7:40 showing limit switches (as optional) Thanks for reply.
My servo isn't working, although it moves by M3/M5 cmds. Can you help me ?
Use grbl 0.9j whit this i can moved the servo
@@gual66 it has been 4 months and i fixed it by using another power supply for the servo, btw thank you :3
Can you make app for controlling writing machine
i bought your file but i haven't seen the core of the arduino😢 Can you help me
How much would it cost to make a A1 size machine?
Up for sale?
WOULDN'T YOU MAKE THE 3D PRINTING FILES AVAILABLE? I'M A BEGINNER AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE IT YET
I am in Thailand I have no access to your GRBL please help me😢
i want write bengali language by this machine, is it possible?
Does anybody have problem with Servo? It doesn't work for me.
I do. I tried using different power sources, new servos, rewiring and isolating lines. Nothings worked unfortunately. Servos are just pieces of shit
Humm I wonder if my plotter is precise enough to do handwriting, have you seen it?
grbl link?
Hi are you could give me the files you made with 3D printing
I can't find gbrl
Please answer, maybe someone has faced such a problem and solved it successfully.
Was kostet und wie mit Lieferung ?
