Facere-Bot
This is an experimental drawing robot. It was designed to be portable, light and fast. Facere is Latin for “do”, “create” or “make”. I’ve had a few requests to do...
Cycloid-O-Matic
Here’s an installment for the #hack613 challenge (to make a machine out of 28byj-48 steppers). It’s a three-axis cycloid drawing machine. I drew it up in Sketchup and designed the...
Swirly Bot
Here’s another installment for the #hack613 $10 CNC Challenge! This is based on my previous Swirly Draw. It’s designed around the 28BYJ-48 Stepper motor and A4988 stepper driver. In the...
Etch A Sketch
We’ve got a challenge to build a simple CNC system over at hack613. Here’s my first installment! How it’s Made I took some measurements of an Etch A Sketch and...
Drawing Robotics
Here are some portraits I’ve been working on with a Bic pen and some robotics. I am taking commissions so feel free to email me what you’d like and I’ll...
Doodle Business Cards
It turns out that my little drawing robot is great for making more business cards. It appears slow but you can leave it run while you’re working on some other...
WriteBot
Check out this cool drawing machine! As you can see I’ve already had it at the pub. I’ll be bringing this to more meetups and other socials! There are plans all over thingiverse...
Robots and Ink
I’ve been making business cards out of record covers from LP vinyl (and many other things). They come out pretty nice (good, see below) but it’s a fair amount of work to...
Lunch Bag
I was challenged to mark some lunch bags for a “Lunch & Learn” in the soft skill space. I thought I’d stick a pen on a CNC machine and see...
Squiggly Draw V3
Here’s another version of Squiggly-Graph I made for three-year old Baby Angelo. I tried bigger teeth to see what would happen. One of the two gears is actually captive once...
Swirly Draw
It’s a drawing machine you crank! Sort of a kid-version of art-o-matic. Seems easier than squiggly-draw too. I think this is great for kids. This one has a ratio of 39:40. I like it!...
Hey Kids! Squiggly Draw!
I just made this Spirograph-like toy! I can’t seem to put it down. It’s for a 5y old birthday gift. Her’s is acrylic but I made another from hardboard for me...
Isoscel-Ease the Drawing Robot
I learned a bit from making the Art-O-Matic swirling-drawing robot. The new Isoscel-Ease drawing robot uses triangular geometry rather than scissor geometry (other drawing robots). The two arms holding the pen are the...
Art-O-Matic
I’ve not done any drawing robots in a while and I got the bug again. I drew Art-O-Matic up in Sketchup (and gear generator) then made the parts from hardboard using a CNC cutter. Added...
Pencil-Bot
I’ve been working on my Painting Robot project which is a bit complex. I decided to break it down and do some similar projects that are simpler. I’ll learn more...
Spirograph Business Cards
I wanted to make my own version of Lady Ada’s Spirograph business card so I picked up this ~2mm material is from Wallacks. I’ve made a few and they have been really fun. One...
