Time for part 4 of the pen plotter series!!! The Z-axis/pen holder on this unipolar pen plotter is driven by one of the ubiquitous SG90 9g RC servos instead of a stepper motor like on the X&Y axes, mainly for simplicity of the grbl version we're later gonna use as firmware on the arduino. What ended up not being simple, was the physical fabrication of the Z-carriage itself - my design based around linear rods was actually way more challenging to build than anticipated, requiring quite high level woodworking skills. I guess that's something I need to revisit at some point, lol.

it's a google sketchup file so you'll need sketchup 8 (free) to open it:

OH. MY. GOD. This video was an INSANE amount of work!! Like I mentioned in a recent community post I recently switched to a completely different editing software which meant I had to learn it from scratch again basically; making the editing step take at least 3 times as long as it should have... But on the bright side, look at those much more advanced animations!
Also, color grading took me a FULL DAY and a HALF - one of these things you don't even notice in the finished product, except if it's left out the video looks trashy...
What do you guys think about the volume level compared to other YT content?
02:55 When I try to make twin objects. I first drill two holes after putting them on top of each other and then insert a pin to keep them in place. Then, I do my cutting and drilling the real holes.
Yes, that would be the correct way of doing it, but on these parts it would've been a bit overkill, especially since there would barely have been room for another set of holes
hola una pregunta tu fijaste el servo a 90 grados o en que posicion esta en el mecanismo? por cierto te quedo muy bonito
hi , nice machine brother.. good job
Thanks!
nice plotter i wish you more subscribers god bless watching from Philippines
Thank you :)
17:37 Do yUo EvEn LiFt BrO LOL nice work there I really feel that heart-felt "Yay!" when it did not just fail or bind up!
When it's late at night and it finally works... I try to always show the failures and the solutions I come up with as well to make it more realistic :)
please.
why next month? 🙁 Just Program it, we want to see how It's Work.😀
Why next month? Because EVERY friggin' video takes AT LEAST TWO WEEKS off full time work to produce! Sorry kiddo, high production value comes at a cost... 😕🙁
Good luck. Hope we get next video soon...🙂
hi my servo don't work thanks

hello, your machine is very good. But you took way too much time to make it. it should be completed like in a week or like 2 weeks max.
Yup, wouldn't have taken much longer if I hadn't had to make a detailed video about every step. Seriously, making a video about anything suddenly makes it take ten times longer.
@@ChronicMechatronic dont you think just buying 2 v-al slots will reduce work. Coz i did the same and it was very cheap
i made it in under 20 bucks. dontknow how much this setup is gonna cost
@@grizzlyybear Easier for sure - but then I get back to the age old problem of integrating the aluminum with the wood, like I extensively talked about in the 3dp series...
Plus buying stuff if it can reasonably be done without is kinda against my channel ethic 😂 This setup cost exactly $0.00 so far!
@@ChronicMechatronic wow…🙊
You take too much risks holding those parts with bare hands near to saws of all kinds of drills. You've been warned.
