So just to recap
Im building a wooden constructed belt driven plotter using these parts from:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CNC-Kit-3-...item2a14d75139
ive read some of the other posts and the talk is very technical is this kit above simple enough for a novice like myself, i have rebuilt engines but electrical jargon is scary to me ,but i can follow instructions well, should i bow out gracefully i wonder.
belts and pulleys what sizes would you recommend and were from.
free software from cambam ( can i just import dxfs and this software will control the pen as well as work out the tool paths?) obviously the pen will need to move in and out somehow Via the z control i presume.
do i need any other parts ? timber is not a problem the rest is.. has anyone got pictures i can take inspiration from i have some ideas but sure they will be way off what's really needed , if i new what to import from 3d content central into solidworks
i could assemble a plotter for you guys to giggle at !
