drawMachine eX – Design Concept – 20181211

___
Drawing Machine – drawMachine eX – ProfileBlock™
– w/Laser Cutter and Engraver
___
3D Design Tool: SketchUp Pro

The long awaited extended-travel drawMachine eX!
Usable pen travel (millimeters): 540 × 300 mm

drawMachine eX follows the frame and structure of 4xidraw V1(http://shop.bluecomtech.com/product/4xidraw-v1-a3).
drawMachine eX is an XY plotter using the H-Bot method.
Easy to expand and simple.
It is light and inexpensive because LM Guide is not used.
(Concept: All-In-One Desktop Plotter, Laser Cutter and Engraver)
Use an “Arduino Nano” control board and a “Arduino Nano CNC Shield” board.

Using the “Inkscape” vector graphics program along with a special “plug in”, you can create several G-Code files, starting with a drawing. Universal G-code Sender (Java) will do the rest.
