Drawing Machine - 4xiDraw V1 / A3 - Design concept update - ProfileBlock™

___

3D Design Tool: SketchUp Pro

4xiDraw is a clone of the famous Axidraw. It's a plotter to draw.

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

In this video we will build one. We will see the list of components, hardware assembly, wiring harness and the Software part ... Up to the Drawing.

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.

The 4xiDraw V1 / A3 is a special extended edition of the 4xiDraw V1. While identical in most other aspects, it is designed for use with 11×17 inch (tabloid or ledger) and A3 size papers. It can also be used with paper of any smaller size, including cards and envelopes and US Letter or A4 paper. You can even use two pages of Letter or A4 paper, side by side.
