In my last post I tried to list off as many uniquely designed drawing robot pen holders as I could find. The reason for documenting them as I did, and pointing out certain design choices, was to help me identify … Continue reading
The pen holder for a drawing robot is one of the most deceptively simple aspects of the entire machine. Stripped down to the most basic elements, the pen holder is nothing more than a small device used to connect to … Continue reading
If you’re just tuning in, I’m building an Arduino powered drawing robot. If you’re the least bit interested in making one of your own1 then please take this quick DrawBot poll to let me know what you’re interested in. You can come … Continue reading
This is going to be another long in-depth post about my Arduino powered drawing robot. If you’d like to know more about how to build one yourself, please help me out by filling out my DrawBot poll. And, if after reading this … Continue reading
Above is a picture of my drawing robot, still a work in progress. The great thing about this particular project box is that it also doubles as a work area. It’s a good place to cut and strip wires, solder, … Continue reading
I’m still working on building out an awesome drawing robot.1 I’m designing printable parts to be installed into a left over wooden box for holding a paper roll, filament spools, stepper motor mounts, and a few more bits. PolagraphSD case … Continue reading
If you’re just tuning in, I’m working towards overengineering a drawing robot.1 Here’s my progress to date: PolagraphSD case – discussed here – done! Mounts for a paper roll – discussed here – waiting to upload… Filament spools – discussed here – … Continue reading
This post is a sub-series concerning the redesign of the various parts of my DrawBot. In short, I am looking to design/redesign PolagraphSD case – discussed here – done! Mounts for a paper roll – discussed here – waiting to upload… … Continue reading
This weekend I worked on my DrawBot. ((Photo courtesy of Relly Annett-Baker)) I stripped my current DrawBot for parts so that I may build it back together with a PolagraphSD brain/heart. ((Bart? Hain?)) Given that there aren’t a ton of parts … Continue reading
I’ve been kicking around some design ideas for how my new DrawBot will look. I’d like it to be aesthetically pleasing and reasonably compact so that when not in use it will be reasonably unobtrusive. For the most part none … Continue reading
