Drawing Machine - 4xiDraw V1 - Design Concept - 20180727

___
Drawing Machine – ProfileBlock™ – Design concept
___
3D Design Tool: SketchUp Pro

4xiDraw is a clone of the famous Axidraw. It’s a plotter to draw.
Use an “Arduino Nano” control board and a “Arduino Nano CNC Shield” board.
In this video we will build one. We will see the list of components, hardware assembly, wiring harness and the Software part … Up to the Drawing.

Using the “Inkscape” vector graphics program along with a special “plug in”, you can create several G-Code files, starting with a drawing. Universal G-code Sender (Java) will do the rest.

For all “.STL” 3D Parts: Coming soon….
