String Art Machine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2020
- Started this project back in March when lockdowns started happening. String art seemed interesting to me and I did a piece by hand but it took forever and I have no artistic talent so it looked horrible. Thought I could just easily build a machine that does it for me instead and I can sit back and enjoy my coffee, should only take 1-2 months. Lets go!
Actually it took 8 months to make something that worked reliably but I learned so much! This project had a fun mix of software, firmware, electrical and mechanical challenges.
If you want to see some of the other patterns I made, you can check out my etsy shop

A few technical details for those curious...
I didn't really mention the software/firmware flow. Basically, the designs I create can be represented via mathematical formulas/algorithms. I use python to generate 2 outputs, one with all the nail locations and one with the path to take. The software then takes this information and generates 2 g-code file, one that places the nails and the other that routes the string in a 3d space. These files are uploaded to an old 3d printer board i had laying around running a customized version of Marlin firmware. There is also an Arduino that it talks to that controls the nail placer and string routing mechanisms in the video.
The mechanical frame was originally used as a CNC router. I needed something that could make big pieces (biggest size is 18”x18”) and BobsCNC Evolution 4 had a big frame and was pretty cheap for a CNC (and its on Amazon too!). It also has an open side that I could fit 10 different thread colors on. The mechanisms and spool holders are pretty much all 3D printed
Oh wow, I can't help but admire the sort of mind that comes up with this kind of project, let alone the design and realisation. Magnificent.
Thank you!
@@knezuld11 yeah, might have also tipped hackaday about it too, its up today.
I was surprised to see that it did the nail placement as well as the string application. Really clever mechanism! The pieces you're spinning are gorgeous. Amazing work.
Awesome work! This is an incredible feat of mechatronics engineering
- Tool changing
- Laser & magnetic calibration
- Multi axis CNC actuation
And then there's the software to run it all, and lastly the output itself is beautiful 😌
This is incredibly impressive. I was not expecting it to be able to put nails in too. So much engineering in there!
The nail setter is a game changer. This collaboration of machines is amazing!
Awesome work! I design machines for a living and know how much work and testing goes into these projects. Keep up the good work!
How much do these machines cost
@@elijahmumbakela8145 it’s something you’d have to build yourself as I don’t think he would sell it…
Absolutely amazing! I'm so impressed by that nail placing head.
Really impressive project. I love that it can do both the nail placing and the string threading.
Incredible, amazing work!
this is maybe my favorite thing ever on the internet!!!
Amazing work!
This is simply amazing. Worked in embroidery for years watching those machine all mesmerized me but this is way cool. Hope you decide to post files would love to have a go at making one.
This is insane, bravo!
Thank you for sharing.
This is amazing! Excellent work! :D
This is awesome. Makes me want to get a 3d printer and just start some projects... one day maybe when one has the time.
Keep up the great work :)
Thanks, i hope you get a chance to make something great!
Awesome
I need to buy this ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️
This is fucking insane.
I've been wanting to build something like this. I don't suppose you've published anything that would help with such and endeavor?
Gratz on getting featured on Arduino!
Kinda crazy that this video was recommended to me based on the size of your channel. Keep it up! This is a sick project.
Amazing but your Etsy shop is down, was it a profitable business or have you moved to something else ? do you have a tutorial for the machine ?
I have a Bob’s CNC. You should consider selling your idea. Great work 👍
Please give files to make it
Sick!
Genius!
😍👏👏👏 Do you have a github or project log?
Will you sell this machine?It's so awesome! I want to buy it
Can you do one that paints paintings using brushes and pots of paint?
mantap.terbaik!
awesome work . can you please tell me what type of wood is used to do this art
Looks absolutely amazing! Are you thinking of possibly open sourcing the project? I think quite a few people would be interested in building similar machines.
thank you! Yea I'm thinking about it. Right now the files and code are a bit of a mess and nobody would likely make sense of it haha
@@knezuld11 I was thinking the same thing as Nicholas here. I think even if it is a mess it would be helpful for people. Better to have something that someone can look at than nothing.
@@knezuld11 I'm so glad you're thinking about making it open source. Community lives by the time and effort you invested. I'm in the process to create a michine making instant packfilm again, that's why I started thinking about 3D printers 4 years ago ;o)...well I have alot of benchys, but not yet a running machine.... #lifewith3kids ... it would be great if you would open source it, I even would pay for the files, firmware and software, my wife is doing some string art, but this would raise it to another level
Hey, looks absolutely amazing... is it ready to go to market product? Can we have some chat?
How did you CAM this?! This is incredible! Everything about it is just outstanding.
Thanks! Took a ton of 3D printed material and lots of testing and iterating each part of the design. Was all done using Solidworks though
🔥🔥🔥
Awesome work. Congrat. Hope I can build one also. I would like if you help me with it. Can we contact. I’ll pay for your design if that’s what it take. And I think you should sell it it’s an insane work. If you let it open then you’re amazing.
Great work, Kevin! is it already open sourced, or can we buy the files set?
Really incredible project! Would you be interested about a software for generating designs out of let's say, existing pictures? I create computational graphics/art software as my hobby and would like to collaborate if you're interested. I'd love to see for example, a portrait made with this!
How much
Where can i buy this. What is the price?
And how can I purchase one
awesome! What is the black material for the backing? Or is the mechanism strong enough to place nails in MDF?
Thanks! Black material is a layer of black vinyl that covers foam board, the mechanism has some strength but not enough for mdf
Where can I get one? Awesome work!
Me encanta la vendes y en cunto
How much does it cost?
How did you generate the tool paths to make these designs?
Hi
Where can i find this machine.
Hi. How i can contacting to you? I want to buy project for myself.
How to purchase it?
!!!!
How much machine price
Máy này bao nhiêu ạ ?
I love it do You sale it ando haw much
Are you selling it?
Noooo It finished halfway through :(
engineering is great. Now the application and the end result....useless.
This is cheating :)
