4xiDraw V1 / A3 - Drawing Machine: Drawing

___

Drawing Machine - 4xiDraw V1 / A3 - ProfileBlock™

___

3D Design Tool: SketchUp Pro

The long awaited extended-travel 4xiDraw!

Usable pen travel (millimeters): 430 × 300 mm

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.
