Hello sir, I have made the same machine as a project and is working perfectly. The only thing is that it only draws the outline of the image or text uploaded. It does not fill enclosed figures as the image originally is....How to do the same....Please help...!!!
Hi Pranit Kubal, There are several methods for filling. The first is to make a scribble inside, the second method instead draws the same outline, smaller and smaller inside, to fill the whole area. I can not explain the various methods well, I do not know English well. But I can attach 2 videos that show these 2 methods. I hope I have been equally helpful. - Methods 1: ruclips.net/video/oLepnfZYlOo/видео.html - Methods 2: ruclips.net/video/_WcNc9wQyXM/видео.html none of the 2 videos is in English. But looking at it several times, you should be able to replicate the same steps. (I did so too!). Bye
Wow so detailed step by step, this is by far the most well described tutorial about these type of diy, since im not a pro programer guy, this kind of description helped me a ton. I cant thank you enough.
Is the belt continuous and one piece? How are the X and Y movements happen then? I cannot imagine how it is realized. I assume for Y (shorter axis) only one of the motors works but for movement along the X (longer axis), both motors work in combination! Am I right?
UGS Version 2.0.7 When i Click "X+" >>> $J=G21G91X50F10000 (Only one motor is running) so the Machine moving like this direction "↗" When i Click This arrow "↗" >>> $J=G21G91X50Y-50F10000 (This time 2 motor is running ) So machine moving like this direction "→ " So the problem is here i want to move x direction when i click X+ To move "→ " and "↗" this to corner direction I changed the Stepper motor pin many time no use. Please help me to solve this issue.
Hi I have converted the text to gcode using inkscape extension but i am not able to add the infill lines to the Text its only converting the outline of the text How to convert the Text to gcode witht the text outline and also infill of lines in it Please tell me I been trying with Axidraw control but getting python 3.6 error and also not sovling the error Please tell me . Thanks in advance
Some of the Items listed in the description are different from the items mentioned on you instructables page. ( Pulley 16 Teeth on RUclips, 20 Teeth on Page). Which one should we follow? The youtube description or the Instructables page? Also some of the items are different like the rods are a bit longer and the nema 17 stepper is a bit different ( 1.5 A instead of 1.7 A ). Is that okay or will that affect everything?
Hi Ahmed Safeer , Even cars go ahead, but they are made of similar but different components! Each choice is to be adjusted in the software. There is no right or wrong, everyone buys what they want. The engines will be controlled by stepper drivers. If you buy 1.5A you will have to set them with a Vref of a certain value, for 1.7A motors you will set them to another value. Let's talk about Arduino! We cannot want to do certain things, avoiding knowing the base!
Hello, my servo motor is not working, it's plugged to the good pins, do the library includes instructions for servo ? Also is it possible to trigger it from Gcode sender ?
hello! can u please help me with software part? I got everything assembled, everything works separately, but I have a windows machine and some steps were lost for me. like all of inkscape part.. compiling python is too much of a task for me((
Hello, I tried to generate a G-code with inkscape 0.92 with (MI GRBL Z-AXIS SERVO CONTROL), when i insert it in grbl controler to print my design it says, " buffer size is too small". any one can explain what is the problem. Thank you.
Hello, I have followed your tutorial but I have some doubts that I have not been able to solve, for example, when drawing from inkscape and sending it to the drawing machine, it prints it inverted and in a cross way, also the servo sg90 works not done
Hello, your content helped me a lot but I have some doubts. of the two motors, which is for the "x" axis and "y" axis. each motor has 4 wires of different colors, how to know which wire color is connected to the driver boards at "x", "y". In the calibration you only use the command for the "x" axis which is $100= 80, but you don't use for the "y" axis $101= ?. Thank you I wait your answer.
The laser gcode exporter plugin is very difficult to use in inscape...it always producing an error while a creating .gcode file ... So can i use any other sources of creating gcode ???
Great tutorial, kind of annoying to listen to a robot voice instead of an Italian, but very detailed explanation! Grazie mille! I ordered my parts, so I’ll be making my own soon! Very excited!
Hello, thank you very much for your detailed video. I rebuilt your robot and I'm just about to be finished but when I try to connect my board with the Gcode sender I will get an error “Grbl has not finished booting” I am really frustrated. Can you please help?

Hi sourav jain , Mmmm .... DO NOT have to insert with powered arduino / CNC Shield! Surely the problem is a damaged driver. Try entering one at a time, and then only connect to the arduino. For testing it is not necessary to feed the CNC shield. The power only serves to physically move the engines.
Hello Sir. I'm building this machine and I can't open the libraries software on Arduino, I have every element but I can't make it work. I upgraded to Arduino's last version and everything but it doesn't do anything. Is there any solution for this?
Maybe your board isn't Arduino Genuine. Try downloading the same software / library versions you see in the video. Those have certainly been tested by me and therefore functioning.
Salve, scrivo in Italiano perché ho visto diversi suoi video e sò che è italiano...complimenti per tutti! Io ho seguito passo passo la video-guida e le info su instructables, solo che ho problemi con il muovere l'asse Z con il motore SG90 (quello dello starter kit originale arduino 1), tramite il UG-code Sender in manuale...Riesco a spostare gli assi X e Y, ma quando provo la Z il motorino fa tanto rumore come se volesse muoversi, ma nulla di fatto (ovviamente ho provato sia a motore libero che con tutto il 3d collegato). Cosa posso fare? P.S.- per i driver sulla cnc ho messo tutti e 3 i ponticelli giusto?
Hi BlackGeare, For the 3 jumpers is correct, the software is configured for 1/16 of steps, so 3 jumpers is fine. As for the servo motor, have you tried rotating it with your hand while it is disconnected? Rotate normally? Perform the tests leaving it in the central position, not at the end of the stroke. Connect GND and 5V, while the Orange cable must be connected in "Z +". Let me know!

Hello sir, I have made the same machine as a project and is working perfectly. The only thing is that it only draws the outline of the image or text uploaded. It does not fill enclosed figures as the image originally is....How to do the same....Please help...!!!
Hi Ricko Arthadinata , It depends on which engines have been used by you. my engines are almost 2A each. In fact, I have a 12v 6a power supply. If your engines are 12v 0.4A, it may be that the 2A power supply is sufficient. Hello
Hi Fabian, It's easy! Look here: goo.gl/Y5dwMH Press over the center piece with the right mouse button and click "hide". Now look at the intrigue of the belt. The belt should only be attached to the opposite side of the pen. 6:24 You have to make a "cross" with the Belt.
Is the belt continuous and one piece? How are the X and Y movements happen then? I cannot imagine how it is realized. I assume for Y (shorter axis) only one of the motors works but for movement along the X (longer axis), both motors work in combination! Am I right?
The structure of the project is such that when we give a command " G01 X10 F100 " it should draw a striaght line according to the gcode but it will draw a slant line beause of our structure of project . Therefore when i am sending any gcode it is not printing correctly . What should i do to solve this problem
Hi Rudraksh Agrawal, To draw a straight line, both 2 engines must turn. Your problem is a burned driver, or not properly adjusted. Have you set the correct Vref in the two A4988 ??
Bueno la idea está genial, y el video, pero haciendo cuentas en la compra de las piezas, al final vale casi lo mismo que comprarse una axidraw clon de las que venden en aliexpress o similares, ahorrandonos tanto el montaje como la configuración del software
Dear The miguelBi I also made this axidraw.....one small problem that ..the x+ and y + are correctly working while x- y- working it moves in both x and y....so belt was slip and making sound
Hi Praveen Rock, The 2 engines always work together in all directions. They turn synchronized towards the same direction to move an axis back and forth, while they rotate oppoistently to move the remaining axis. Search for "CoreXY" to understand the mechanism well. Check your GRBL values! Surely there is something wrong set. Are the wiring of the A and B coils of the 2 motors correct?
Great job Miguel, i have just ended the assemble of your version of the axidraw. i'm in trouble with the servo, i send the M03 S255 command and the servo only sound a high note, and don't move. my servo it's mg90s, and doing a previous test with the servo library of arduino it works fine. i think is a problema with e right frequency of the modulation. thanks for your support
Hello dmainero88. The M03 S255 command I think is exaggerated. In my normal use, the down position corresponds to M03 S0, while the top position corresponds to the M03 S30 command! With higher movements to M03 S30 you will need to manually add a delay, otherwise the pen will move without touching the sheet. Otherwise, the alternative will be very very slow XY moving times. Do you still think your problem is the servo limit switch, at the time of assembly it was centrally located? Without electric current, can you manually move the "pen block" up and down?
They are used to keep the pieces printed in 3D, otherwise the only smooth bars would move during printing. In addition, the weight of the M10 bars gives stability to the plotter.
Do you mean in "file mode" when trying to send a .gcode file? I have no idea what this mistake may be. Try creating another gcode with a different image.
hi there, thanks for the video and all the info, just wondering if you can show the timing belt map under the middle block , i am not sure how to arrange and connect the belt from motor to the the middle part and ends, thanks
Bro how did u create that tiger face gcode having iner shading..if i tried on any pictures it only provide me outline picture of that.... How can i create a gcode file that contains not only outline also with iner Shade...??
ruclips.net/video/_WcNc9wQyXM/видео.html This is the video I followed to make the cat. They are perimeters copied several times inside it, until space is used up.
Are you sure that the voltage regulator on the Arduino (Cloneduino) will be able to continuously supply enough current for the servo without overheating and failing?
Yes, but the 2A power supply powering the CNC shield will be too much for the Arduino voltage regulator, so power the Arduino separately and cut off the VIN pin on the CNC shield.
Arduino only has the USB cable. I powered the 12V-6A CNC Shield, using the Misan modification for the servo motor. And I have never burned anything of Arduino. I do not understand what you're referring to ...
Hi Dhyey Shah, The USB port of arduino will power only the Arduino (software part). All the power part (motors, servo, etc.) are powered by the CNC board only.
TheMiguelBi I have made this as shown in your video But now, I want to increase the speed of stepper motors , i tried increasing the F value in gcode, but nothing worked. Can you tell me about it?
Hi hema kumar, Of course they are to be adjusted, adjusting the Vref according to the type of your engines. Search for a video in English, unfortunately my video on the adjustment is only in the original language.
All tests must be done with a servo motor in hand. How does it work with a servo motor leaning on the table? If the program you are using is correct, it can not work forever. the servomotor works at maximum 180 °!
Yes ı found. my servo doesnt work ı ll try new that. so can u install new video while working ur machine. and can u share all calibration setups on video ? Thanks everythings ^^
You have to calculate that! Vref values depend on the type of engines you are using. In my video (in Italian) you can find answers ruclips.net/video/wpUMptJo-xs/видео.html. Vref = Imax x (8 x Rs)
It's easy! Look here: goo.gl/Y5dwMH Press over the center piece with the right mouse button and click "hide". Now look at the intrigue of the belt. The belt should only be attached to the opposite side of the pen. 6:24 You have to make a "cross" with the Belt.
hi, thanks for sharing. for me it works i only have one problem the machine going to the walls how can i set "home" so that it can start drawing in the middle
@@TheMiguelBi thanks for replying i will try to measure, another question i am using the same software (turnkeylaser) and it is not generating the Z code, i looked your video and it's the same for you X and Y are moving while Z stands 0
No, the A4988 drivers are set via a voltage value (Vref) that depends only on the motors you use. The power supply must be sufficiently good based on the hardware it needs to power. A 2-amp feeder is a bit too limited. Better a 5A!
It is a mathematical formula. Here my video (only in Italian language) ruclips.net/video/wpUMptJo-xs/видео.html But on the web you can find something else.
Hello. Sorry but I have a problem with the servo motor. When I move the Z axis my step motors begin to make noises and the servo motor doesn´t work. Do anyone know what is happening?
Hi Klang, First you have to test with the disconnected and steering servo motor. You have to understand if the servomotor moves during the program or not. It may be that the movements are in the opposite and then vibrate because it came to an end ...
If the servo does not move, it may be connected to the wrong arduino pin. If the software is not the same as the video, output pins could be changed. or the servomotor may be damaged.
I have watched your video and I have done everything. I will have a responsibility. X axis motor is very hot. I have not seen the connection in the list. I did not see the video. How did you do it?
Hi mehmet akyıldız, The engines both work the same way, being a coreXY mechanism. Therefore he can not heat an engine differently from his brother. Surely you will not have correctly adjusted the reference voltage (Vref) on the drivers. Look for some information about the drivers you use, in the case of the video it is A4988. Good job!
I know.... But the problem is that its in italian I cant understand anything... So lets suppose i use the exact same nema 17 motors that you used in your project... What should I modify in my x and y stepsticks(voltage current etc)?
You did not understand. The name "Nema 17" does not mean anything! There are 2V and 3A motors and 12V 0,4A motors. VRef is not equal !!! Also, to calculate it you have to read the sensitivity resistance value of your pololu. Search for a video on your language on RUclips ... so avoid burning it all !!!
Hi Placinta Adrian, Find all the links in the video description. It's for Amazon Italy, so you'll need to find the same product in your Amazon country. I bought it from tingibox (Spain), I am not sure to send out Europe. You can try to contact them by email and ask them directly!
Hi Mehmet ÇOBAN, osoyoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Arduino-CNC-Shield-V3-Layout.png here it says power from 12v to 36v. 19v are not many more .... but I can not give you any confirmation. For the servo motor you must connect the positive cnc shield with arduino. Giving arduino 19v is not a good thing in my opinion...
thank you for your prompt response. You’re right, to avoid risk, I buy a 12v one. But also I saw that same type of step motors are run from 12v-1a to 12v-10a. Isn’t current level important to run. Also can servo motors be run like that?
No, the servomotor works only at 5V, and it is powered by Arduino. The problem of the higher voltage, in my opinion, is arduino overheating. akizukidenshi.com/download/ds/towerpro/SG90.pdf
Thank you for this excellent tuto (without your help I could not finish my own project) . Now it's almost correct for me except an only small problem : all draws are printed at 45° (diagonal) regarding the sheet. I cannot solve this point. Have you any idea to fix that ? Thank you ;-)
Hi Eric Caston LeLaurain, Check how the two engines respond when you give a movement command. X axis movements the two motors must turn synchronized, while movements in the other axis the motors must turn in opposite way. Does this happen or not? If the answer is no, you have not set the movement as "coreXY", but as a Cartesian. You need to review the GRBL settings by typing $$.
@@TheMiguelBi Thank you , you have probabely right , but unfortunally, I cannot see this alernative . It is really into G-code sender ? After $$ typing I cannot acceed to this choice : Cartesian/CoreXY where is my mistake ? ;-)
At the moment I do not remember, but it should be among the GRBL variables. Do something like this: Rotate 180° 1 only block a motor (4pins) on the CNC shield board, the one you prefer, and see what happens. ;)
burak GÜNGÖR Yes exactly! UGCS is a lightweight program. Strange there are problems with it. did you try to start as an administrator user? or on the properties try booting it in mode compatible with some other previous operating system ... I do not mind anything else ..

Maybe your board isn't Arduino Genuine. Try downloading the same software / library versions you see in the video.
Those have certainly been tested by me and therefore functioning.
Salve, scrivo in Italiano perché ho visto diversi suoi video e sò che è italiano...complimenti per tutti!
Io ho seguito passo passo la video-guida e le info su instructables, solo che ho problemi con il muovere l'asse Z con il motore SG90 (quello dello starter kit originale arduino 1), tramite il UG-code Sender in manuale...Riesco a spostare gli assi X e Y, ma quando provo la Z il motorino fa tanto rumore come se volesse muoversi, ma nulla di fatto (ovviamente ho provato sia a motore libero che con tutto il 3d collegato). Cosa posso fare?
P.S.- per i driver sulla cnc ho messo tutti e 3 i ponticelli giusto?
Hi BlackGeare,
For the 3 jumpers is correct, the software is configured for 1/16 of steps, so 3 jumpers is fine.
As for the servo motor, have you tried rotating it with your hand while it is disconnected? Rotate normally? Perform the tests leaving it in the central position, not at the end of the stroke. Connect GND and 5V, while the Orange cable must be connected in "Z +". Let me know!
Hello Sir .I made the 4xiDraw as per your instraction but my servo is not moving. do you have any vidio for it. Pl help.Actualy Iam a HOBBIEST. Need help to setup UGS, I am totaly new in this. Pl Pl Pl HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.

Hello sir, I have made the same machine as a project and is working perfectly. The only thing is that it only draws the outline of the image or text uploaded. It does not fill enclosed figures as the image originally is....How to do the same....Please help...!!!
Hi ramnath marketings,
This is perfectly normal. It is called vector graphics.
The answer finds it on the first blocked comment. Read 🔝
halo i want to make this project but i have one question. Did it's enough to power this project with adaptor 12v 2a? or maybe higher than 2a? thankyou
Hi Ricko Arthadinata ,
It depends on which engines have been used by you. my engines are almost 2A each. In fact, I have a 12v 6a power supply. If your engines are 12v 0.4A, it may be that the 2A power supply is sufficient. Hello
How is the "string" connected? (from motor to motor, and in the middle). Cause in the video I couldn't see how you did this
Hi Fabian,
It's easy!
Look here: goo.gl/Y5dwMH
Press over the center piece with the right mouse button and click "hide". Now look at the intrigue of the belt.
The belt should only be attached to the opposite side of the pen.
6:24 You have to make a "cross" with the Belt.
Is the belt continuous and one piece? How are the X and Y movements happen then? I cannot imagine how it is realized. I assume for Y (shorter axis) only one of the motors works but for movement along the X (longer axis), both motors work in combination! Am I right?
The structure of the project is such that when we give a command " G01 X10 F100 " it should draw a striaght line according to the gcode but it will draw a slant line beause of our structure of project . Therefore when i am sending any gcode it is not printing correctly . What should i do to solve this problem
Hi Rudraksh Agrawal,
To draw a straight line, both 2 engines must turn. Your problem is a burned driver, or not properly adjusted. Have you set the correct Vref in the two A4988 ??
Bueno la idea está genial, y el video, pero haciendo cuentas en la compra de las piezas, al final vale casi lo mismo que comprarse una axidraw clon de las que venden en aliexpress o similares, ahorrandonos tanto el montaje como la configuración del software
You can put the download link of stl 3d files again. This site does not open ,,,,, Thanks
you are awesome
Dear The miguelBi
I also made this axidraw.....one small problem that ..the x+ and y + are correctly working while x- y- working it moves in both x and y....so belt was slip and making sound
Hi Praveen Rock,
The 2 engines always work together in all directions. They turn synchronized towards the same direction to move an axis back and forth, while they rotate oppoistently to move the remaining axis. Search for "CoreXY" to understand the mechanism well.
Check your GRBL values! Surely there is something wrong set.
Are the wiring of the A and B coils of the 2 motors correct?
Hi, can you please share latest softwares and versions to be used. If possible video on the same.
Great job Miguel, i have just ended the assemble of your version of the axidraw. i'm in trouble with the servo, i send the M03 S255 command and the servo only sound a high note, and don't move. my servo it's mg90s, and doing a previous test with the servo library of arduino it works fine. i think is a problema with e right frequency of the modulation. thanks for your support
Hello dmainero88. The M03 S255 command I think is exaggerated. In my normal use, the down position corresponds to M03 S0, while the top position corresponds to the M03 S30 command!
With higher movements to M03 S30 you will need to manually add a delay, otherwise the pen will move without touching the sheet. Otherwise, the alternative will be very very slow XY moving times.
Do you still think your problem is the servo limit switch, at the time of assembly it was centrally located?
Without electric current, can you manually move the "pen block" up and down?
why threaded rods are used no parts are connected to it .plz tell me sir
They are used to keep the pieces printed in 3D, otherwise the only smooth bars would move during printing. In addition, the weight of the M10 bars gives stability to the plotter.
What are the programs required for this
"error: Expected command letter" When I Click " SEND ". You know something about this ERROR! Plz help me!
Do you mean in "file mode" when trying to send a .gcode file?
I have no idea what this mistake may be. Try creating another gcode with a different image.
Hello !
Thank you for this documented build. What is the reference of this orange printing filament ? I love the slight translucency of it.
hi there, thanks for the video and all the info, just wondering if you can show the timing belt map under the middle block , i am not sure how to arrange and connect the belt from motor to the the middle part and ends, thanks
Hi M A,
It's easy. Watch this photo by MISAN (Autor Istructables): images.app.goo.gl/gsQaaXdeQtQuz5YL8
What if i use a heatsink
Do i still need to modify the stepsticks?
With 12v 0.4A motors, no heat sinks are needed.
My engines in the video are 1.95V - 1.7A. That's why I installed an electronic fan too!
Bro how did u create that tiger face gcode having iner shading..if i tried on any pictures it only provide me outline picture of that.... How can i create a gcode file that contains not only outline also with iner Shade...??
ruclips.net/video/_WcNc9wQyXM/видео.html
This is the video I followed to make the cat.
They are perimeters copied several times inside it, until space is used up.
TheMiguelBi can u please suggest me an english version of this video...coz it is Very difficult to understand...
thank u!
Are you sure that the voltage regulator on the Arduino (Cloneduino) will be able to continuously supply enough current for the servo without overheating and failing?
Hi Volker,
with the modification made by Misan, which you can see at the 10:03 minute, I had no problem using the servo motor.
Yes, but the 2A power supply powering the CNC shield will be too much for the Arduino voltage regulator, so power the Arduino separately and cut off the VIN pin on the CNC shield.
Arduino only has the USB cable. I powered the 12V-6A CNC Shield, using the Misan modification for the servo motor. And I have never burned anything of Arduino. I do not understand what you're referring to ...
Can any1 tell me, about how power is supplied through? Is he using arduino usb port as well as cnc female pin connector at a time to run the machine?
Hi Dhyey Shah,
The USB port of arduino will power only the Arduino (software part). All the power part (motors, servo, etc.) are powered by the CNC board only.
TheMiguelBi
I have made this as shown in your video
But now, I want to increase the speed of stepper motors , i tried increasing the F value in gcode, but nothing worked.
Can you tell me about it?
Do i want to adjust a4988 driver???? Or when I want to adjust it..? Can i use that without any changes???
Hi hema kumar,
Of course they are to be adjusted, adjusting the Vref according to the type of your engines. Search for a video in English, unfortunately my video on the adjustment is only in the original language.
Can u please suggest me any link or any video... Am using nema 17 stepper of torque(4.2kg)..
Real amazing project ! I'm curious to see how it's work at real speed !!??
Yes, really interesting!
I will try to publish new videos soon, with some sample tests.
Stay connected!
I am using 0.4A 12V stepper
What should be the max voltage?
You must read the value of the sensitivity resistors of your A4988.
And then use the formula that I wrote to you yesterday.
Vref = Imax x (8 x Rs)
26:25 ı connected servo motors singal cable to end stop z+ but servo motor always rotating. What can ı do more ? ı dont understand
All tests must be done with a servo motor in hand. How does it work with a servo motor leaning on the table? If the program you are using is correct, it can not work forever. the servomotor works at maximum 180 °!
Yes ı found. my servo doesnt work ı ll try new that. so can u install new video while working ur machine. and can u share all calibration setups on video ? Thanks everythings ^^
Same problem do you get any solution on that
Is there any way to buy all parts together?
I dont have a 3d printer machine :(

Heiio sir,Imade this machine sir how started machine 1st step.
Hello can I use 4mm smoothed rods instead fiber tubes??
Hi Vesper Rousie,
Yes, this is possible, but the flow may not be as fluid as with carbon fiber.
What should be the output current/voltage of the stepsticks to avoid overheating?
You have to calculate that! Vref values depend on the type of engines you are using.
In my video (in Italian) you can find answers ruclips.net/video/wpUMptJo-xs/видео.html.
Vref = Imax x (8 x Rs)
How do you put the GT2 belt? I don't solve this mistery...
It's easy!
Look here: goo.gl/Y5dwMH
Press over the center piece with the right mouse button and click "hide". Now look at the intrigue of the belt.
The belt should only be attached to the opposite side of the pen.
6:24 You have to make a "cross" with the Belt.
sir i make this matchin and it works well but please tell me how can i signature by this matchine like axidraw .
Hi Kanishk Raj,
I think this video is right for you! ruclips.net/video/tZkbCnfvwoU/видео.html
Instead of a4988 driver can i use DRV8825 for nema17 stepper motor(1.7A)..???
Everything is possible hema kumar.
However, you must download the Datasheet of that type of driver.
It is not configured in the same way.
TheMiguelBi in this video which one is x stepper and which one is y stepper??
The X axis is "still" together with the electronics.
hi, thanks for sharing. for me it works i only have one problem the machine going to the walls how can i set "home" so that it can start drawing in the middle
Hi Double Negatives,
it is the Gcode that decides this.
You have to work on it to do what you want.
@@TheMiguelBi thanks for replying i will try to measure, another question i am using the same software (turnkeylaser) and it is not generating the Z code, i looked your video and it's the same for you X and Y are moving while Z stands 0
Can anyone tell me how to configure a hc05/06 bluetoooth module with this project to send images directly from mobile?
My version does not use any bluetooth module.
Try reading here: 3dpburner.blogspot.it/p/bluetooth-connection.html
We have to set any voltage or ampere in a4988 driver any which power supply we have to use 12v 2 amp or 12v 5amp
No, the A4988 drivers are set via a voltage value (Vref) that depends only on the motors you use.
The power supply must be sufficiently good based on the hardware it needs to power.
A 2-amp feeder is a bit too limited. Better a 5A!
How to find vref of motor TheMiguelBi
It is a mathematical formula.
Here my video (only in Italian language) ruclips.net/video/wpUMptJo-xs/видео.html
But on the web you can find something else.
TheMiguelBi can u give me your mail id i will mail you everything with photos of motor and it detail you will tell me the vref and everthing
Hello. Sorry but I have a problem with the servo motor. When I move the Z axis my step motors begin to make noises and the servo motor doesn´t work. Do anyone know what is happening?
Hi Klang,
First you have to test with the disconnected and steering servo motor. You have to understand if the servomotor moves during the program or not. It may be that the movements are in the opposite and then vibrate because it came to an end ...
TheMiguelBi I have already tested the servo and it doesnt move
If the servo does not move, it may be connected to the wrong arduino pin. If the software is not the same as the video, output pins could be changed. or the servomotor may be damaged.
TheMiguelBi I made exactly what you did :(
TheMiguelBi I put the brown wire to ground. The red wire to 5 V and the orange one to Z+
What is app do you make gcode ??
Watch the video 8:41 !!
Can you provide the link for the Arduino code
Sir, How to order 3d parts?
can I use this to write an article written in MS WORD?
Hi Yasharth Shekhar,
I do not believe. Only vector files (inkscape)
i want to code for this design
Servo motor is keep on running whenever i finished grbl firmware..
What do i want to change
I have watched your video and I have done everything. I will have a responsibility. X axis motor is very hot. I have not seen the connection in the list. I did not see the video. How did you do it?
Hi mehmet akyıldız,
The engines both work the same way, being a coreXY mechanism.
Therefore he can not heat an engine differently from his brother.
Surely you will not have correctly adjusted the reference voltage (Vref) on the drivers.
Look for some information about the drivers you use, in the case of the video it is A4988.
Good job!
And is it done by turning the potentiometer on the stepsticks right?
Exactly. Here you can find my video ruclips.net/video/wpUMptJo-xs/видео.html
I know....
But the problem is that its in italian
I cant understand anything...
So lets suppose i use the exact same nema 17 motors that you used in your project...
What should I modify in my x and y stepsticks(voltage current etc)?
You did not understand. The name "Nema 17" does not mean anything!
There are 2V and 3A motors and 12V 0,4A motors. VRef is not equal !!!
Also, to calculate it you have to read the sensitivity resistance value of your pololu.
Search for a video on your language on RUclips ... so avoid burning it all !!!
Ok can u just breif me about what to do to adjust the vref of my stepstick?
TheMiguelBi
Thanks!
I found a video from pololu robotics to set the max current output using vref
Keep up the good work!!

sir what is the substitue for f623zz bearing
Nobody! Model 624zz is for M4 screws, and in any case the external diameter is 3mm larger.
Hello . I'm interested in buying this equipment. how can i buy it?
Hi Placinta Adrian,
Find all the links in the video description. It's for Amazon Italy, so you'll need to find the same product in your Amazon country. I bought it from tingibox (Spain), I am not sure to send out Europe. You can try to contact them by email and ask them directly!
can i use 19v-6,32a power supply instead of 12v-6a?
Hi Mehmet ÇOBAN,
osoyoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Arduino-CNC-Shield-V3-Layout.png
here it says power from 12v to 36v. 19v are not many more .... but I can not give you any confirmation. For the servo motor you must connect the positive cnc shield with arduino. Giving arduino 19v is not a good thing in my opinion...
Rather you buy a 12v 3A power supply that are much cheaper!
So there is no risk of burning everything!
thank you for your prompt response. You’re right, to avoid risk, I buy a 12v one. But also I saw that same type of step motors are run from 12v-1a to 12v-10a. Isn’t current level important to run. Also can servo motors be run like that?
No, the servomotor works only at 5V, and it is powered by Arduino. The problem of the higher voltage, in my opinion, is arduino overheating.

I see, thank you
Hellow Sir, I have made the same machine as a project and working perfectly but i need your help plz......
If it works perfectly what help is it?!?
Thank you for this excellent tuto (without your help I could not finish my own project) . Now it's almost correct for me except an only small problem : all draws are printed at 45° (diagonal) regarding the sheet. I cannot solve this point. Have you any idea to fix that ? Thank you ;-)
Hi Eric Caston LeLaurain,
Check how the two engines respond when you give a movement command.
X axis movements the two motors must turn synchronized, while movements in the other axis the motors must turn in opposite way.
Does this happen or not? If the answer is no, you have not set the movement as "coreXY", but as a Cartesian. You need to review the GRBL settings by typing $$.
@@TheMiguelBi Thank you , you have probabely right , but unfortunally, I cannot see this alernative . It is really into G-code sender ? After $$ typing I cannot acceed to this choice : Cartesian/CoreXY where is my mistake ? ;-)
At the moment I do not remember, but it should be among the GRBL variables.
Do something like this:
Rotate 180° 1 only block a motor (4pins) on the CNC shield board, the one you prefer, and see what happens. ;)
@Eric Castor Lelaurain Hi, Im having the same problem. Have u solved urs?
I m using Windows but ı can not open Universal Gcode sender ı dont understand. Anyone help me ? Thanks
Hi burak GÜNGÖR,
You must have "Java" installed and updated.
If it does not work try installing the most complete Java version ....
I installed jdk 9. maybe ı dont know how using java while openin .bat document.
I install java and updated after ı ll open .bat normalley, wouldn't it ?
burak GÜNGÖR Yes exactly! UGCS is a lightweight program. Strange there are problems with it. did you try to start as an administrator user? or on the properties try booting it in mode compatible with some other previous operating system ... I do not mind anything else ..
Maybe you can try some other program similar to universal g-code sender. There should be more ...
ciao Miguel , non so perché ma non riesco a far partire il programma di Java nonostante abbia seguito scrupolosamente le tue indicazioni , se puoi aiutarmi te ne sarei grato ,questo è il messaggio del "terminale":

Ciao jekRaffio,
purtroppo non so dirti nulla riguardo l'errore, hai provato incollare il testo in google e cercare qualche soluzione?
Ho visto disponibile la versione 2.0 di GcodeSender.... in ogni caso la migliore è la 1.0.9 stabile. Eventualmente prova anche con le precedenti versioni.
Java hai installato la versione 8 Update 151 ?
Non mi ricordo se l'ho accennato in questo video o in un mio altro video... a volte si risolve installando la versione Runtime Environment di Java. La trovi a questo link. Fai un tentativo! www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
