Converting old 3D printers to CNC
Nice idea for light CNC work, not so sure about more intense jobs. The author did the conversion for $30. If you have an old 3D printer you could do this, but keep in mind the motors, drive (belt) may … Continue reading

Cool knitting machine
It only makes a french braid. But still pretty clever build. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/french-knitting-machine-video-94850?homelistings#post217012

Simple Heat set press
This is used to press inserts (like nuts) into plastic. Interesting and cheap build overall. https://www.instructables.com/Easy-Build-Heat-Set-Insert-Press/

Two Servo drawbot
This is a bit of a ghetto build, and instead of using steppers, the author uses servos to drive the x/y. https://www.instructables.com/Two-Servo-and-Drawer-Rail-Pen-Plotter/

converting an old plotter into a camera slide
The author took and old plotter and make a motorized camera slide out of it. Nice build, only issue I can see is its a “short” slide. https://hackaday.com/2022/04/07/turning-old-plotter-parts-into-a-smooth-camera-slider/

A drawbot that can use a multi color pen
Interesting build for a drawbot, it uses a multicolored pen to switch colors, instead of changing the “pen” for each color. https://www.instructables.com/Multicolor-DrawBot/
