Embark on the DIY journey, elevate your skills, and transform your engraving aspirations with the Nano Graver!
Remember to give it a thumbs up, share, and subscribe for additional DIY inspirations.
This groundbreaking Arduino Nano-driven Mosfet controller is the perfect compact and cost-effective tool for enthusiasts keen on meticulous engraving, particularly in jewelry crafting and intricate designs.
📌 Background & Inspiration:
Since 2010, I've been immersed in jewelry making, initially as a means to fund my college expenses. Now, armed with a degree in mechanical engineering, I'm channeling my expertise to bring you this solenoid-based graver machine. After extensive research and trial, I've crafted an approach that's both effective and budget-friendly.
🛠 Key Components & Features:
-Solenoid selection considerations, including the recommended 12V version of solenoid 1335.
-Tips for ensuring longevity, including heat dissipation and the necessity of a Flyback Diode.
-Detailed insights on building a custom solenoid tailored to your needs.
-Handpiece design iterations, including materials and dimensions.
-Step-by-step guide on setting up the Arduino-based controller, with schematics and safety precautions.

This is very cool. I found your video because i had sticker shock when i saw how much pneumatic engravers cost. I was googling linear solenoid engraver and stumbled across your channel. Great stuff!
Thank you so much! I am glad you liked, if you have any doubts about it you can just ask. Have a great weekend.
Hi, this very cool
It cost you how much to make that, I really want to build 1 but I don't know how to, can electrican build that? Thanks for sharing😍😍😍😍
@@hungnguyen-yb8yf It depends on where you live but the whole setup costed me, in europe, 100 euros. Any person that has a basic knowledge in arduino and basic soldering can do it. The link is on the description on how to build it.
I’m glad I’ve waited and watched your videos along this journey to see the progression and everything seems to be working flawlessly!
I'm glad I persevered with it! Along the way, I've gained valuable experience in stone setting, and the machine has consistently kept pace. Now, it's time for me to update my micromotor. Have a wonderful week.
Your work is amazing! Do you know where I can get the pcb boards with the resistors already soldered? I can only find companies to provide bare boards!
@@mattchapman4706 Hi, it depends on where you are from. But I have used Aster and Eurocircuit in EU, and these ones that are on the video came from JLC Pcb, i know PCB way also manufactures it. In all cases you have to tick the manufacture or Pick & Place service. None of the resistors are dependant on their values, you can replace for what is available.
Where can we find all the information on the build and what parts to purchase?
@@kozmosjewels3070 you can find on github, the link is on the description. You can get the info on solenoid on the folder Solenoids. All the other 3d files are on the linked onshape.
So good!
Thank you. Have a great week.
I tried to upload your Gerber files to JLCPCB, but they don't seem to be correct? What am I missing? Just uploading the zip files from your github should be enough, right?
Any way to view the Gerber files? Dimensions would be nice too.
Yes it's supposed to work this way when sending it to jlcpcb, i tried and it worked.
Is it possible to use some kind of ready-made control unit? so as not to create it yourself?
Hi, yes. It is possible to get the boards from a company. The foles for it are on the github, its the Controll Board V2. The wiring connection should be made by you unfortunatelly. JlC Pcb and PCBWay are services that deliver online. The problem is that you have to order at least 5 boards of each. There are some places that offer these assemblies services or even places that fix phones can do it as its basically soldering. After that you have to "install" the code on the board which is done through a computer and usb cable.
@@selvalssare you selling this machine? I’m interested in one ready to go, plug and play
Hi, @@hineniart. I do not sell this machine, the instructions for constructing it are on the github page. You can follow them to make your own.
does it 1330 solenoid do all the job or need stronger one?
It depends on what you want, for an all round solenoid I would recomend either a modified solenoid or the 1642 linked on the previous video. On a frequency of 30hz it can do everything and on short strokes for fine work you can use higher frequncies.
