I want to build one. I love GRBL ESP 32. when you post the STLs on Github, would you make a quick assembly video? Am I correct you use a single belt to drive x and y? These must be small motors? Thanks! I think I have all the parts:-)
looks cool..but may i ask why or what was difficult to 3d print?? i only ask because from what i see it seems to be straight forward...also what parts were "expensive?? seems to be "off the shelf parts to me...did you just say that to make this look harder than it actually is?? lol it's ok we all do it from time to time, more so on the things we are really proud of!! (something like this) cool project and thanks for the covid craft idea!!
Looks fantastic. Is there a midtbot_esp32 pcb available on your tindie? or how do you suggest I start to build one? :) I am not too familiar with ordering custom pcbs, but would love to give this a shot. Thinking about using it for STEM education as parts that can be picked apart and assembled/looked at in detail.
Everything works except the SD cards. Does not read the micro SD card! After sending the $ SD / status command, it says: No SD card. Why? What to check?
A quick question since you seem pretty knowledgeable. Do you think that with some effort, it would be posslble to use a pen plotter as a printer replacement? As a student, I write roughly 50 pages a day on my laptop, and ink-wise it's pure murder. Pens are cheap, ink cartridges aren't. I know that one can use Inkscape (copy paste into inkscape) to generate GCode (CNC-stlye) in order to operate a pen plotter - but do you know of any software that would make the task easier? i'm thinking of building my own A4-sized pen plotter, the hardware I can handle, but if the software isn't there i'm kind of boned.
I don't know why you need hard copies of everything these days. With that said, I do like to keep a hand written notebook of stuff. It is just a page or two per day. It is the notebook you see in the video. I do use the machine to plot graphics into the notebook sometimes. It is way slower than a printer though.
The parts and BOM are in "code" are of the repo. That allows regular Github source control. I added some links in the wiki. Fo example the STL files are located here github.com/bdring/midTbot_esp32/tree/master/STL
Hello friends. I try to make like this 3d pen plotter but i have a problem. The Problem, i cant control the z axis with cnc shield and uno. I can controll just uno. It runs correctly. How can i solve this problem? Do you have any idea?
Yes, Actually it is better than most 3D printers in that respect. It has a built in web server and micro SD card. You use a browser (no special app required) on a phone or computer to upload drawing files. You then can print any of the files on the machine.
@@engserve Where can i define The Pins for The SD Card Reader or could you give me an Link for an kit? Also If I want to make it bigger could you explaine me which Settings has to be changed? Thank you VERY MUCH!!!
@@bugnugget2516 The project is documented on GitHub. github.com/bdring/midTbot_esp32 I do not recommend scaling it up too much with the thin rods that this uses.
So very awesome! And LOVE the MPCNC grbl_ESP32 board as well...GREAT JOB!!!! One idea on addition...make it completely portable and wireless...on the cover of the board...put some 18650 batteries...viola...completely portable Oh I forgot to ask..can you make the rods for 8mm because it's really easy to source those components
@@engserve yeah it's for 3d printers, wasn't sure what firmware the your pen plotter uses. The desktop version on github has pen/laser friendly features. i'll eventually get around to adding that to the io site. thanks for taking a look anyways :)
Dude what the hell is with this gcode? What is everyone using to generate this gcode that seems designed to draw all the lines in such a terrible order?
It drew a self-portrait I love it so much 😭😭😭
Ohhh how cute! Time to start buying all the bits! Great project!
I love your work! Keep it coming
The lift design is very well implemented. Well done!
Great compact design. Great job!
You can use this to draw the PCB lines with a marker pen on a copper clad board for etching.
Ingenious design decision to account for surface height variations. Thanks.
great design! One more vote for posting the CAD so we can start playing with it
github.com/bdring/midTbot_esp32
oh this is beautiful!
very cool. i think this would be a neat project for my son and I.
awesome design, great work man
Looks awesome!
Excellent design!
You're a génius.
Fantastic, just what I need!
so beautiful machine,, i really glad if you want to teach for step by step
Awesome Stuff!
Excellent
Impressive Work

I will have a few to sell on Tindie in September. Follow me on Twitter @buildlog or subscribe to my blog to be notified. www.buildlog.net/blog/
which software did you use to generate g code? Thanks

This is awesome!! Quick question, where do I get esp controller board? I did not see it listed in BOM..
The controller is documented in the PCB section of the Github repo.
Barton Dring yes, saw that. I was hoping I could just buy it.

yeah i was thinking to do the same, some schools thinks than handwriting is the key for everything
Magnifique..
Hey, I couldn't find the parts anywhere on your github page, or is there no parts list?

Moc krásné!
Nice quality, but why is the pencil stroke so big? 1 or 2 mm stroke should be enough I guess and saves time
You are correct. It is exaggerated for demonstration
Hi, nice Project!! Could you mention if there is any option to make it standalone? Like an 3D - Printer?
Yes, Actually it is better than most 3D printers in that respect. It has a built in web server and micro SD card. You use a browser (no special app required) on a phone or computer to upload drawing files. You then can print any of the files on the machine.

Barton, will your designs ever be, 'public' accessible, to print or construct from a kit?
I'll be posting this on Github soon. I decide on kits soon. Maybe in the fall of 2019.
@@engserve looking forward to your github updates, your designs are always so elegant...

i need help mine wont draw a circle. its just drawing a square with arc
How to make this machine video
Nice
Can you share the 3d print gcode to make
where is the esp32 GBRL firmware needed to run the hardware?
See this wiki page github.com/bdring/midTbot_esp32/wiki/Compiling-Firmware-for-the-MidTBot
Sooooo cute.
Its very nice, i made one i will post it at my channel
wait.. custom pcb's?? i stand corrected lol
Would 3dwriter.io work for this?
It looks like that creates some non standard gcode like "G28 X Y Z". That looks more like 3d printer firmware gcode.
@@engserve yeah it's for 3d printers, wasn't sure what firmware the your pen plotter uses. The desktop version on github has pen/laser friendly features. i'll eventually get around to adding that to the io site. thanks for taking a look anyways :)
