Gantry Plotter

Anyone up for hacking together a basic plotter using a gantry system? I
figure something like this could work really well for drawing etch resist
on PCBs using a sharpie.

We have a load of old stepper motors, metal bars and gears, so most of the
bits are around already.

Hi Bob,

I’d be up for this. Think I have some spare stepper driver modules
somewhere if they’re any use?On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 11:43 AM, Bob Clough parag0n@ivixor.net wrote:
