This is a drawing robot or pen plotter machine designed around 2020 aluminum extrusions. It uses a coreXY movement for precise fast moves. [More info on CoreXY here: http://corexy.com/theory.html]. The design goals were to create a reliable, easy to print and build coreXY platform that could be used with pens for drawing or laser modules for cutting and etching. The modular design using 2020 extrusions will allow you to build much bigger or even much smaller versions. This machine can be built for around $80 to $100.
This machine will allow you to take a line drawing in Inkscape, convert it to G code and draw it on paper with a pen. There's also a document that can be found in the Files section of this thing which explains how to install Inkscape, the Inkscape MI extension, and the Universal G-Code Sender. It guides you through some example projects as well.
Here is a video of an early test, sorry for the focus and lighting ;-)
