What I loved your part is, you can easily make those drills and cutting in CNC. But did it in handy. you give a hope to everyone who haven't accessable a CNC router. You made a confidence like you can do it.
Thanks Dejan, that one is a "keeper". I already have everything except the rails, and it will be a perfect project to share with my grandson who is just starting to show an interest in these types of project. I think a pen plotter would be a good place to start.
Followed this guide & built my very own engraver today! I was able to convert the drawings into stls & 3d print all. I had to change a few things to get it to fit / work. But overall Happy! I'll make a video
Best video on this topic, and it matches my one-day project design close enough to be a very comprehensive source of helpful information! Thank you very much! 👍
Awesome video, you are actually one of the reasons I study mechatronics now. Thank you for your content and your exelent way of showing how interesting mechatronics is !
Thanks for this. I have looked at many, many, many CNC machines and this is by far the easiest and least expensive to build. I'm not a fan of the slider blocks used here because they get dirty so easy but since this is a laser CNC and not cutting wood like other CNC's, I think they will work just fine. Great job!
Nice build! Keep in mind you need to have your belts parallel to the axis. Yours are angled slightly which means the belt gets tighter/looser as it gets closer or further away from the end points.
Izvrsno. Bravo majstore. Imam prijedlog, kako povećat preciznost. Kod kalkulacije step/mm, koristiti maksimalnu raspoloživu dužinu raila. Ako je raspoloživo 400 mm, mjeriti i kalkulitati na cijeloj dužini. Naime, ako je greška očitavanja 1%, na 10mm to je jako puno. Na 400 mm, greška je prihvatljiva.
Wow, thank you for this. I appreciate the frugal take on this. I'm in design and part purchase phase. But I also want to create a machine with upgrade ability if i want to eventually get a CO2 tube. So I am going with a fairly sizable extrusion frame. But I was debating on a tslot/vslot combo, a tslot/linear rail combo, or tslot/linear rail (x)/linear rod(y&z) combo. But the ingenuity of using wood has me reconsidering because I can get more laser for my buck if I cut costs and use what I have in lumber and just buy rails. I so appreciate you taking the time to do this.
@@shoumikahmed6373 its already in his website, if not u can actually download the 3d model of this (also in his), and from his 3d model, u can get the template of the mdf
The finishing is really impressive. You just need two stepper motor for x and y direction with no moving part along z- axis. It is really compact and cleverly built.
Don't forget focal point. Should be in the laser specs. As pointed out, the belt positioning is also important. Curious as to resolution with this setup? I see these steppers are 1.8 degrees. Without additional hw, I'm assuming no half or finer stepping.
This is was the kind of tutorial I was looking for. I currently don't have a 3D printer and wanted to know how I could go about starting a prototype 'pen-plotter', with something like MDF board. I'm hoping to use aluminium profiles along with the MDF, but I'm just starting to design so I'll have to work out if that is even feasible. Anyway, I'm glad I found your video, hearing your throught process was helpful.
I want to do this as a side project next semester in college while doing my final year project. Hopefully if I can figure out a way to upgrade this I can use the basic idea for final year project.
This is a nice project to learn cnc control as this could be upgraded slightly to use a small engraver motor,however,the use of MDF,the dust from MDF contains FORMALDAHIDE which is very toxic,so dust mask and good extraction,ANY wood material will absorb moisture from the air ,so ,you could either use same thickness large plastic (nylon)chopping board which will not warp with heat or moisture or water down PVA white glue to make an emulsion to paint all surfaces of the MDF after cutting to size,this will make it waterproof,make all screw holes self tap or drill holes and add emulssion,removing excess with a cocktail stick from screw holes. Nylon chopping boards can be found quite cheap,and are very strong and stiff when used in the proper dimentional axis to force,it can bend but will not compress easy so proper use is a must,along with PVA emulssion treated MDF,a very strong stiff frame can be made,though this project is very nice and the use of good linear rails is very commendable.
Do you have the measurements for the limit switch under the main plate? It appears that your CAD drawing is still missing them. I'm looking to export these out for 3d printing, and would be nice to have these missing holes in the main plate. Thank you for your hard work on this model!
Congratulations on this super simple and fantastic project! I have started ordering and buying the needed parts for this project because i will most definitely will build it, but... I believe everyone would greatly benefit if we also had the print-on-paper hole jigs you used in the video (i couldn't find them on your website, unfortunately). Keep up the good work!
@@HowToMechatronics I randomly got back at this video again. Wouldn't it be relatively straight forward to retrofit this into a 3D printer? Make it taller, scrap the laser and in its position add a structure that sits higher than the linear rails and lowers the hotend with a 28byj-48 powered threaded rod kind of thing with two rods guiding it. How doable would that be? A minimal part dual Nema 17 3d printer does sound appealing.
Thank you! I probably should have mentioned in the video but as I was saving on time I didn't do it. When the laser module was fully extended there was a leaning of about 1mm. Though, the play was not coming from the rail, but the MDF base, or because of the method I glued an screwed the pieces where the X-axis was mounted.
Great project and as always well explained. On your website, I am missing the links to the rails, the pulleys, the idlers, the belts. Would you happen to have some links for those as well?
Hi thanks for this video and project. I plan on doing my own. I have a question though, I am not sure yet if I need 390x360, maybe smaller would work for me (and avoid the bend towards the end of the linear guide) I just want to make sure it would work as fine with let’s say 400mm linear guides instead ? Thank you !

Hello, can you make the first issue of arduino rc remote control?
Sir please make a simplest 3d printer... cause comeon... its 2021! 3d printer is a must nowadays. Love from India❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can I use it for fabric as well?

yes you can use for fabric also.

Glad to hear it! Yep, pen plotter would fit more. Lasers are a bit messy and actually dangerous.
Cheers!

good point. Thanks for mentioning this. Recalculating my design.
Nice build! Keep in mind you need to have your belts parallel to the axis. Yours are angled slightly which means the belt gets tighter/looser as it gets closer or further away from the end points.
Yeah, that's a good point, thanks for the input!
You've done a great job, man! 👌
truly the highest quality content, you never fail to deliver. I've been wanting to make something like this myself for a while

amazing man. really simple and parts are easy to acquire.
I must say you are a genius man awesome video
Great design! Another great video thanks! i could see this being mounted vertically for on site applications.
Thanks! Yeah, absolutely!
As always , great project ,keep on 👍
Great man, you keep the Mechatronics engineers heads up high :D
You are back!!!!!!
Great video. Precise and well explained. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Amazing project
I am getting interested in 3D printing now
Keep making content on it
Thanks for sharing
Cool, thanks!
my friend you are the best I was always thinking to do this, now I will make it
Incredible video. Thank you.
Awesome video,,,, Keep them coming! Great job!!!
Thank you for this video ❤️
Can you tell us more about stepper and driver spec.?
Very good my brother, I am assembling my cnc based on your drawing !!
Thank you so much its so helpful.all respect for you bro
I need to make this!
Excellent product
This is brilliant! Subbed
I made thisss finallllyyy. Thank you so much..it workssss..this is my first timeeeee doing something awesome. I can't thank you enough for this
Can you provide the mdf cutting tepmlates???

The finishing is really impressive. You just need two stepper motor for x and y direction with no moving part along z- axis. It is really compact and cleverly built.
You can even reduce xy to CoreXY-like principle and have no moving Motor at all
@@spaceengineersmods I've built a similarly-sized core-XY plotter, but I utilized many 3D printed components.
Great project and succesfully
Very Impressive Project ..cheers
Awesome thanks for the video and work you put in.
Thanks for watching!
What a great project
Beautiful prints ❤
Thanks!
Thanks
I realy enjoyed
Well done
Wow! Amazing! Great. In fact cnc is too expensive. You do great job! Thank you so much
Wow. I hope these talents become part of grade-school curriculum.
Great Work
Absolutely AWSOME ✌️👌🏽👍🏽👌🏽

I like the way you show how to build this, no 'this is what I prepared earlier' or pretending every hole was precisely on target.
Thanks, glad to hear it! I always try to be as transparent as possible in the videos. Cheers!
It's wonderful , thanks.
This is awesome. Could be beefed up easily to be a plasma CNC thats pretty portable.
I Really loved it And Always well explained
Thanks!
Great work! But I have a question. How did you estimate kinematic for it?
I want to do this as a side project next semester in college while doing my final year project. Hopefully if I can figure out a way to upgrade this I can use the basic idea for final year project.
Great! And thank you so much.
Great video!
Very cool!!!
Keep em coming!!!!
Thanks! Will do!
I loved it !
Great work! Thank you but just one question how does the machine get electricity is it from the laptop or computer Thanks

Great video thanks.
awesome my friend
Great idea, I want to build it too.
We absolutely need more videos like this, this is great!! Hoping for a 3d printer design too.
Glad to hear it, thanks! I always give my best.

awesome tutorial.
is it posible to build a single machine for engraving wood/Acrylics and cutter? what laser should be used
That's very impressive, especially considering the materials used. I was surprised that the unsupported axis was so stable. Awesome design.
Thank you!
I probably should have mentioned in the video but as I was saving on time I didn't do it. When the laser module was fully extended there was a leaning of about 1mm. Though, the play was not coming from the rail, but the MDF base, or because of the method I glued an screwed the pieces where the X-axis was mounted.
@@HowToMechatronics Presumably a bracket would fix that. 1mm doesn't sound like much; if it doesn't mess with the laser focus, then all's good.
How about adding a roller blade wheel on the end of the y axis to support it kind of like what they do to a large gate so it doesn't sag?
Great information! thanks a lot!
My pleasure!
Have you considered using a smaller profile rail (MGN9 or 12) on the cantilevered axis?
Vote up, nice video, thanks for sharing :)
thx for this video, I'm purchasing parts and building
great as always
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video and details thank you .Is this possiable make PCB ?(copper melting )
nice work
I always preferred HTM videos. Because of Simplicity and makes thoughts for everyone "we can do it". Lovely
Glad to hear it, thanks! Of course, we can always do anything! 😃
That sounds great. But what Lazer moduale can I use to CUT wood with? Thanks for your time :)
That is awesome
Great project and as always well explained. On your website, I am missing the links to the rails, the pulleys, the idlers, the belts. Would you happen to have some links for those as well?
Thank you! I've just updated the article.
Is there any other option for pulley rails??
You have any idea about mach3 breakout board ? Laser wiring diagram with mach3
