hi all this is my new version i had given up on the old one i was building as i was finding it hard to get all the parts i need. so i found a big plotter on ebay and it was just what i was looking for. heres a pic of the gantry. i used 6mm chain for the drive up the frame i made because i got it cheap and the guy has loads of different sizes spockets.
and heres a pic of the frame when i started making it.

i was trying to use the plotter as the controller but it was a pain with all the sensore giving me errors so ive ordered a control board that should be here next week. ill put some more pics up next week.
