PEN PLOTTER ART CNC ARDUINO VINYL CUTTER STICKERS

A remarkably simple CNC machine to build!

It can draw, paint, cut paper, adhesive vinyl, heat-transfer vinyl,

Requirements:

4 rectified 8mm diameter rods, length as desired; mine are 510mm
2 rectified 8mm diameter rods, 57mm long for the Z-axis
10 ML8UU linear bearings
4 Nema 17 stepper motors
3 GT2 pulleys and 5 meters of GT2 belt
3 metal GT2 belt clamps (I designed mine to 3D print, but they eventually fail)
1 vinyl plotter cutting blade
1 surface to mount everything; mine is 600x800mm
1 electronics controller of your choice

My GRBL parameters are:
$1= 255 (to keep the motors energized, so the Z-axis doesn't drop)
 

I use Inkscape to create the G-code
I use UGS to send the G-code

It's possible to install any electronics you prefer, such as a 3D printer control board, or a RAMPS 1.4 with an Arduino Mega and a RepRap Discount Full Graphic Smart Controller
