A simpler build to the bottle plotter

Posted on November 19, 2020 by robertwilkie

From yesterday. This build is a bit simpler build but its more of a printer since you put paper on the roller. Not exactly sure what the author was going for here except reducing the size of a CNC. https://www.instructables.com/CNC-Drum-Plotter/

Cool 3D print cat (maybe dog) toy

Posted on September 14, 2020 by robertwilkie

Nice build, the parts you can 3D print out, and with 2 servos, a laser pointer, and an ESP, you can build one yourself. I could see expanding this build myself. https://www.instructables.com/id/LaserCat/
