I am currently designing and building a CNC guided plotter to aid me in my work (specifically but not exclusively in regards to my pen drawings). The machine will be driven by an Audrino (running modified GRBL-firmware). I will be 3D-printing some of the main components and manually fabricate the rest. I will keep posting images and videos as the project progresses (I’ve left out a lot of iterations since the page would be flooded with pictures and models if I included everything).
