Arduino nano x1
Hi Friends Welcome to the DiY Projects Lab insctructable
, I hope you all are well, so today we are going to learn CNC shield x1 A4988 Stepper motor Driver x2
how to make your own 3D Printed CNC machine. It is a
prototype module, but once you build it you will Servo motor x1
de nitely be able to build a very large CNC machine and
with much higher accuracy. The principle will be the pen x1
same, we will use DVD Writers Stepper Motors to control
the movement of 3 axis of CNC machine. old DVD Scrap X2 Some wires

Step 1: What Is CNC ?

3D Printed Mini CNC Machine: Page 1


CNC (computer numerical control) The system is based relation to the coordinate axis of the machine, using a
on the control of the movements of the work tool in computer program benbox executed by a computer.it is

necessary to control the movements of the tool in two Z axis – up and down
coordinate axis: the X axis for the longitudinal
movements of the carriage and the Z axis for the 3 Axis
transverse movements of the tower. servo motors are
incorporated in the carriage and turret displacement Automatic/interactive operation
mechanisms.
Milling slots
AXIS MOVEMENTS
Drilling holes
X axis – left to right
Cutting sharp edges
Y axis – front to back

Step 2: What Is Stepper Motor ?

The stepper motor is an electromechanical device that digital-to-analog (D / A) converter and can be driven by
converts a series of electrical impulses into discrete pulses from logic systems. Its main applications include
angular displacements, which means that it is capable of a variable frequency motor, brushless DC motor, servo
advancing a series of step depending on its control motors and digitally controlled motors
inputs. The stepper motor behaves in the same way as a

Step 3: DVD Drive Stepper Motor Disassembly

First of all we must open the 2 DVD scrap to extract the motors and moving parts necessary for the CNC machine. We
must open them carefully so as not to the break the pieces we need. In the following image we can see Image. Simply by
unscrewing the 4 screws marked in the image we can extract the part which we need, a whole shaft together with a
stepper motor.

Step 4: Attach Motor With Base

We have soldered the wire with stepper motor and then given it a spacer with a piece of wood. (As shown in the picture
below) we cut a wooden plate that will be our base.

Step 5: X-axis and Y-axis Co-ordinates Movement.

I’ve attached the slider of X and Y-axis together in perpendicular to each other, using glue between them. And also
attached a cut wood piece above it as a working bed.

Step 6: Assemble the Pen Holder

Attach the pen holder with bed

Step 7: The Electronics

CNC Shield v4 5Vdc. This card is GRBL compatible.

This is the Shield CNC v4 for Arduino Nano, it is a 3 axis Ready to your all circuit
stepper motor controller, ideal for creating your own 1) 2 PCs A4988 Stepper Motor Driver 2) v4 Expansion
three axis CNC or laser engraving machine. This card can Board A4988 Driver 3)Arduino Nano First of all take hit
control two phase (4 wire) stepper motors up to 2A. It sink and stick on A4988 motor Driver. 2 pcs A4988
has a digital I / O interface, easy to connect to other Stepper motor driver connect on expansion board
modules, such as ENDSTOP, it also has an I2C interface, it A4988 driver module. then connect the arduino nano
can be connected to the I2C LCD or another I2C module. with expansion board and connect all wiring
The power supply is 7.5-12Vdc, and the control logic is

I have to log information by hand but have horrible penmanship. This might be the solution!

Is there a way to modify this so it could be used on wood say like a wood burner or engraver?
This is very cool! ;)
Very Nice!
Thanks for sharing. Where we can found the Arduino code?
Great Instructable! Love it!

Thanks sir

Nice
