FrankenCNC

This is more of a showcase than something you can build from the files.

The goal was to make a CNC plotter using e-waste. It started when I disassembled some printers/scanners and found the motion systems. I immediately knew I wanted to build something out of it.

The electronics are very simple, an arduino running GRBL, a CNC shield and two stepper drivers. I use Inkscape to generate the G-code and Universal G-code Sender to stream it.

The parts you can see of the bed of the machine are all the iterations and failed prints created during this project.
