Hello - I can confirm that the custom GRBL build that is supposed to support a servo on pin11 doesn't seem to be working (and it also has an error in the library code that prevents the compilation from the Arduino IDE ; but even with that line commented out, it doest seem to drive the servo). The one with the 3 steppers is working well, and the wiring diagram linked in the description is correct.
Thank you very much; you are a natural educator! I really appreciate the way you approached this project and how you explained each stage step by step. I hope that you keep being inspired to share and making videos like this. Bravo!
"Works" of this plotter looks very nice! Although a pro-artist will notice some machine "features" in drawing anyway. But I could make holiday presents to all my local friends with this machine :) Also it's a great idea about how to make something else to make any home more festive and natural looking in the same time!

Congrats man. Cute design. I took some time over the weekend and build it. I used Arduino Uno following ur diagram and after some time i manage to make it work by NOT inverting X axis in UGS and inverting Z axis. It works like a charm. I see some people had this issues too. I also made new pen holder since urs was limited to one size. Let us know when v2 will be available :)
@@claudens2321 hey. Hack was exactly as i wrote it. I did not invert X axis in UGS but i inverted Z axis. This worked for me using Arduino Uno. Hope you will make it work.
@@claudens2321 Not the firmware. Universal Gcode Sender -> Setup Wizzard and there i checked “Reverese direction” for Z axis instead of X like it’s on the video. Just follow video steps and you will get to there.
I just received the parts ;-) I got a question about the power: - Why don't you use the expansion board power ? - And I see a jumper on the expanasion board in your video that I don't see in your schematics could you please specify how do you manage the power ? I mean, if you don't use the power plug from the expansion board, where do you power on the expansion board ? Thank you !
I used the expansion board Power to Power the Arduino and I powered separately the motor drivers Because they require too much power to be connected to the 5volt of the arduino (I tried and it didn't work)
Will build it tomorrow, thanks again for your support and your awesome work. Just a suggestion. Running threw easel will greatly make easier the print process ;-) It seems to work on my side
Question, I followed your wiring diagram and the X and Y work as expected, however I do not have Z control at all. When I swap the Z stepper board with X or Y ; I am able to control that stepper motor. Is there by any chance different pins on the arduino uno that need to be used?
@@DAZprojects ??, I pulled the z board and stepper motor and placed those wires in the X spot on the UNO and I can control the motor, how does that mean it is broken? Please educate me.
Great tutorial! Thank you but the JSCUT doesn't work - TAKES FOR EVER EVEN WITH EASY DRAWINGS or just freeze. Is there another program to create the Gcodes?
Great build! How did you ensure smooth sliding of the part in the rail? Did you sand the parts after printing? Or any other finishing? Did you provision for clearance in the model? Thanks for sharing!

Update: waiting on the steppers right now and did some research into PCB milling, it might be impossible or just make very crude PCB's but I still want to try 😉
So I've bought the exact parts you use in the video, but the wiring diagram is for another board. i need the wiring diagram for what's in the video. also the JSCut file won't show on my system. What do you use the JSCut settings for and what are the settings? please get back to me im teaching this project to a class in a couple weeks and want to workout all the kinks before starting this project with the children.
The wiring diagram is correct, i used a Arduino uno in the diagram because i couldn't find the Arduino nano and shield template. The connections are the same. You have to upload the jscut file on jscut, so that all the settings will change according to the machine specs

Hi, I don't understand how you managed to power your CNC with the 9v connector connected to the motor controllers, could you explain it to me ? Did you connect the two wires on the same pin ?
you can find circuit diagrams on the internet and instead of connecting the vcc to the 5v on the arduino you connect it to the positive pin of the power supply connector and the same thing with the gnd

I think your power adapter doesn't provide enough amps.... Use a separate adapter for third motor or even better use a separate power adapter for each motor...
nice video man . great job , i have made the 3d printed version of the same which uses the same stepper motor on the pen aswell. im facing issues of the plotter not drawing as it should all the shapes are not smooth and most of curves getting flat line. any idea what could cause that - im using JSCUT and sometimes the extension in inkscape. still not getting smooth lines all wired flat and not organized lines. the motors im using are 28BYJ-48 5V with their drivers and an Arduino Nano . been 2 weeks working on it to fix the problem , still not getting lucky :( hope you can assist me

Fantastic project! Thanks you for sharing 🙏🏻 My problem is that the 3 stepmotors do not step/rotate at all. I tried both arduino uno and arduino nano + shield. Instead they make a buzz- sound and get hot. I have wired accordently to diagram A0, A1, A2, A3 for the Y-Axis(IN1->IN4) │ 2, 3,4,5 Digital pins to the X-Axis(IN4->IN1) │ and 8,9,12,13 to the Z-Axis(IN4->IN1). All red lights are turn on on X and Y motors Any one have an idea to solve this problem? I appreciate any comment.
If anyone could please help, I have followed the wiring diagram exactly, I have used 3 different Adruino Uno boards and 2 different nano boards. Also I have swapped out all stepper motor boards as well as stepper motors and I still can not get the Z axis to work, yet X and Y both work on all the boards and motors.
