Super Easy 3D Printed Arduino CNC Drawing Machine | GRBL Plotter Elegoo



3D Print your own high quality Arduino based CNC drawing machine. Easy and budget friendly. Use it to draw on almost anything. I’ll step you through how to build your own including all the files you need. πŸ‘‡ More info below πŸ‘‡

This project has a relatively low cost and can produce some very detailed drawings. I’ve used it to create t-shirts, cake decorations, drawings to colour in myself (and some it coloured in for me!). You could also use it to draw out scale drawings, wedding invitations, birthday and Christmas cards and anything else you can think of. πŸ™‚

A second video covering uploading the code, creating drawings, and sending them to your machine is available here: https://youtu.be/8scKLHz77Lg
