drawMachine eX - Design Concept - 20181211

Drawing Machine - drawMachine eX - ProfileBlock™

___

3D Design Tool: SketchUp Pro

The long awaited extended-travel drawMachine eX!

Usable pen travel (millimeters): 540 × 300 mm

drawMachine eX follows the frame and structure of 4xidraw V1(http://shop.bluecomtech.com/product/4xidraw-v1-a3).

drawMachine eX is an XY plotter using the H-Bot method.

Easy to expand and simple.

It is light and inexpensive because LM Guide is not used.

(Concept: All-In-One Desktop Plotter, Laser Cutter and Engraver)

Use an "Arduino Nano" control board and a "Arduino Nano CNC Shield" board.

Using the "Inkscape" vector graphics program along with a special "plug in", you can create several G-Code files, starting with a drawing. Universal G-code Sender (Java) will do the rest.
