Drawing and Vinyl Cutting Machine #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Make your own XY drawing machine with printed parts. Shared by HD_Creator on Prusa Printers:

Yes, this is yet another drawing machine based on the coreXY principle, which is well known from the AxiDraw maschine. But instead of driving the size upwards like other designs here on the web, I have decided to keep it very compact, limiting the drawing area to the size of a postcard (DIN A6). I have then used the reduced mechanical requirements that come with the smaller size, to make it very simple and very cheap to reproduce. At that size, very good accuracy can be achieved even without metal linear ball bearings.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
