Introduction: Make DIY Homework Writing Machine at Home
Drawing Robot/Pen Plotter/Drawing Machine is an Open Hardware version of the famous machine AxiDraw which it is a pen plotter, capable of writing or drawing on almost any flat surface. It can write with pens, permanent markers, pencils, and other writing implements to handle an endless variety of applications.
Its unique design features a writing head that extends beyond the machine, making it possible to draw on objects bigger than the machine itself. The biggest advantage of the machine is that it can be placed over the book because of the core XY extending design of the machine.
This Drawing Robot/Pen Plotter/Drawing Machine is similar to the commercially available AxiDraw. It is powered by an Arduino Uno controller, uses a CNC Shield, and GRBL firmware
The cost to build the Drawing Robot is between $75 depending on where you buy your parts and whether you already own some of the parts such as the Arduino.
You can find all of my projects on https://www.diyprojectslab.com/
Maximum drawing area 24 * 30 CM.

Step 2: 3D Printing
PLA is fine for this design. I print at 200C on BuildTak. None of the parts require rafts or brims. I suggest supports only for the pen holder and the Z axis end plate which is standing up.
Download the files from Thingiverse
Open the 3D models in Cura or any other slicer.
Use 75% infill on all the parts (An infill of 70 – 100% will work as well)
Printed all the parts with 0.10 – 0.20 mm layer height
Printed with PLA
Use supports on the Penholder, Slider, X_Support_L and the X_Support_R
Note: The longest part took around 10hrs and the shortest took 30 minutes to print
Step 3: Assemble the X-Axis
Now take the threaded rod and insert it in the hole below. Feed a 5/16in washer and 5/16in nut on both sides of the x-support part
Remember that you need (2) 350mm and (2) 450mm long linear rods
Take the (2) 450mm linear rods and insert them into either x-support part
- Use may need to use a round file to smooth out the holes that you insert them in
- Also, you can use a rubber mallet to help insert the rods
Step 4: Assemble the X-Axis Bearing
Slide the clamshell through the 450mm (X-axis) linear rods Use a rubber mallet again to attach the last X-support on the linear rods Make sure that the rods stick out equally on both sides Slide the other end of the threaded rod through the hole on the X-support Put on the last set of nuts and washers to hold the X-support in place Now that the X-axis is complete, you can use (2) Phillips M3-0.5 x 16mm screws per X-support to help keep the linear rods from sliding
Now you want to push the LM8UU bearings into their place on the top and bottom clamshell (The top and bottom clamshell take (4) bearings each)
Take (4) 624zz bearings and push them through the 3D-printed idler pulleys. Leave the 5th bearing for later when you assemble the Y-axis
Assemble the X-Axis (Carriage)
- Get (4) M3-0.5 x 20mm screws, (4) M3 nuts, (4) M3 washers and (4) 624zz bearings with the idler pulleys installed
- Take one screw and feed a washer through it, the washer will rest on the bearing. The nut will be at the bottom of the carriage, which will secure the bearing in place
Assemble the X-Axis (X-Support)
- Slide the clamshell through the 450mm (X-axis) linear rods
- Use a rubber mallet again to attach the last X-support on the linear rods
- Make sure that the rods stick out equally on both sides
- Slide the other end of the threaded rod through the hole on the X-support
- Put on the last set of nuts and washers to hold the X-support in place
- Now that the X-axis is complete, you can use (2) Phillips M3-0.5 x 16mm screws per X-support to help keep the linear rods from sliding
Step 5: Assemble the Y-Axis
- Slide the the linear rods/Y-back piece through the LM8UU bearings and attach the Y-front piece using a rubber mallet
- Take the (2) 350mm linear rods and insert them the Y-back piece by using a rubber mallet
- Get (1) M4-0.5 x 35 screw, (1) M4 nut and the 5th 624zz bearing
- Get (2) M3-0.5 x 16 screws to secure the linear rods
- Slide in the bearing when inserting the screw through the Y-back piece
Step 6: Assemble the X-Y Axis (Belt)
Use a pair of needle nose pliers to help guide the GT2 belt more easily through the clamshell Take the two ends of the belt and slide them through the “teeth” on the Base Slider The belt should be tight and not loose Note that once the GT2 belt is on, it is normal for the clamshell not to move easily
- Use a pair of needle nose pliers to help guide the GT2 belt more easily through the clamshell
- Take the two ends of the belt and slide them through the “teeth” on the Base Slider
- The belt should be tight and not loose
- Note that once the GT2 belt is on, it is normal for the clamshell not to move easily
Step 7: Assemble the Z-Axis
Get (2) 3mm linear rods and the following 3D printed parts (Slider, Pen Holder, Base Slide, 3MM Metric Thumb Screw) Get (1) Hex M3-0.5 x 20mm screw and the Metric Thumb Screw and push them together. Use superglue to keep it together. Get (3) M3-0.5 x 16mm screws which you will use the secure the Base Slide to the Y-Front part. You may need to use (3) M3-0.5 nuts in order to hold it in place Push the Slider and Pen Holder together to make one piece Now take that new part and the (2) 3mm linear rods and slide the rods through the holes. Place a small spring in between the two parts so there is a little bit of pressure to lift the Slider. You may need to cut the spring a bit until there is an adequate amount of pressure on the slider.
- Get (2) 3mm linear rods and the following 3D printed parts (Slider, Pen Holder, Base Slide, 3MM Metric Thumb Screw)
- Get (1) Hex M3-0.5 x 20mm screw and the Metric Thumb Screw and push them together. Use superglue to keep it together.

Step 8: ELECTRONICS
To find the coils of the stepper motors, use a multimeter. If there's resistance between the two wires, you have a coil. On the schematic, the coils are represented by two wires of the same color.
ELECTRONICS
i prefer you can use Arduino uno CNC Shield
Ready to your all circuit
1) 4pcs A4988 Stepper Motor Driver
2) Expansion Board A4988 Driver
3)Arduino UNO First of all take hit sink and stick on A4988 motor Driver.
4pcs A4988 Stepper motor driver connect on expansion board A4988 driver module, then connect the arduino with expansion board and connect all wiring The shield also has a built-in micro stepping control - meaning that instead of using full steps or half steps like a large CNC would do, we can make the motors move by 1/16 or 1/32 of a step to make the laser move with the maximal precision possible. However, the motors will consume more electricity: they will get hot quicker.
To use the micro stepping modes, short some of the mode pins together. Different combinations give different resolutions. Take a look at the chart for the different configurations possible. When the shield is programmed, add the A4988 drivers to it and wire up the rest of the electronics.
Step 9: SOFTWARE
Inkscape which is the graphics design software (draw or import graphics)
Inkscape MI GRBL Extension (convert graphics to G-Code)Universal G Code Sender (sends the G-Code to the robot causing drawing motion)GRBL which is the Arduino firmware (programmed into the Arduino Uno)

- Ultimate cura ( We use this software for slice .stl file to gcode for use in 3d printer ) https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura/
- Arduino IDE ( For Install corexy Firmware to Arduino Uno ) https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
- Inkscape version 0.92 ( For make gcode file for writing or drawing or photo to use in universal gcode sender) https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-0.92/?latest=1
- Universal gcode sender ( Import gcode file which exported from Inkscape and give command to writing machine) https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/download/
Make Plastic Parts
We design plastic parts in Autodesk Fusion 360 and export them as .stl files. All .stl files that are attached to steps that use them. Import the stl files into the ultimaker cura slicer software and adjust the settings for the walls and nozzles you require.
Then, export the gcode file to a memory card and print it using PLA filament on a 3D printer. Make every 3D printed object step by step. To assemble this writing machine, we need 10 3D-printed components. The total weight is around 250 grammes.
Make Y Axis Slider
Take two 42 cm long 8 mm threaded rods, 8 mm nuts, and the stepper motor holder after all the 3D-printed parts have been completed printing. Then, as shown in the picture, passing this threaded road from the bottom holes in the stepper motor holder. Next, insert threaded rods from the opposite end of the second stepper motor holder.
Fix two nuts on the second end of the threaded rods after passing them through both stepper motor holders.
Added Stepper Motors
Next, take two stepper motors and insert them into the stepper motor holders' casing. Then tighten every screw on the holder joint and stepper motor.
Take two 8 mm plain steel rods that are 35 cm long and pass them through the stepper motor holder's top holes.
If you need to write on a huge scale, you can use long steel rods, although large highways reduce the quality of your writing.
Middle Slider for the X- Axis and Y-axes
After creating the y axis, create the middle slider that connects the x and y axes.
Take two middle slider plastic 3d printed parts for this, one additional 3d printed part, LM8UU Slider bearing (8 pieces), 623ZZ 10x4x3 mm bearing (8 pieces), and 40mm x 3mm bolts and nuts.
Place one 3D-printed slider object four LM8UU Slider bearings, and Attaché the other 3D-printed slider object four LM8UU Slider bearings. Next, insert four 40mm long bolts into the holes shown in the illustration. From the other side, attach two 623ZZ bearings to these bolts. Then attach all bolts from the opposite side and attach the middle 3D-printed part to the other middle part. Then secure the middle slider with the final four 40mm bolts.
After creating the middle slider, take the Y axis and remove half of the plain rod, and run the middle slider through this. After that, reattach the plain rods to the stepper motor holder.
The pen holder needs to be built once the Y-axis has been constructed.
Two 6.5 cm long 6mm plain steel rods, two LM6UU slider bearings, and a 7mm spring are the components you'll need to assemble a penholder using 3D printed materials. As shown in the picture, place two LM6UU bearings into the two holes in the grey 3D printed portion. Then, using two 6 mm plain rods, pass them through the wooden 3D-printed components of the pen holder as shown in the third picture. Place a 7 mm spring between the holder and bearing for the second rod while passing the first rod directly.
Use 16-mm bolts and nuts to attach the red pen stand to the grey 3D-printed portion.
Make X Axis
Two 27.5 cm long 8 mm plain steel rods, a pen holder, and a 3D printed belt end portion are required to make the X axis.
Attach two 8mm steel rods to the belt end 3D printed item as shown in the picture. After that, move the Y axis' middle slider over this structure. Fix the pen holder to the second end of the steel rod after that. Fix a permanent junction with two 16mm bolts.
Pulley and Roller
Then insert two 623ZZ bearings into the pen holder and fix them using a 40-mm bolt.
Get two GT2 stepper motor pulleys and attach each one individually to the stepper motor shaft.
Run GT2 Belt
Take a 2-meter GT2 belt and attach one end to the wooden belt holder portion that was 3D printed.
Next, pass the second end of the GT2 belt through the 623ZZ bearing on the middle slider, the stepper motor GT2 pulley, the 623ZZ bearing on the pen holder, the GT2 pulley, and the 623ZZ bearing on the middle slider before attaching the second end to the belt holder 3D printed component as shown in the pictures.
Make Controller Box
Arduino Uno, CNC Shield V3 Expansion board, two A4988 Stepper Motor Driver, and six short jumpers are required to create the controller box.
Take a controller box that was 3D printed and mount an Arduino Uno on it. On the Arduino Uno, attach the CNC Shield V3 Expansion board as shown in the picture. Then, as shown in the diagram, take a short jumper and place it on the CNC shield. Place the final two A4988 drivers into the CNC mill as shown in the illustration.
Servo Motor and Wiring
The final step in building a writing machine with hardware and electrical components is this.
From the back, insert the SG90 servo motor into the pen holder's cavity. After that, link the stepper motor wire to the two motors. Take the controller box and insert it through the bottom threaded rods of the Y-axis. Then connect the SG90 servo motor wire and the stepper motor wire to the controller box.
Firmware Installation
- Download the Corexy firmware using this link.

Make a Homemade Homework Writing Machine
Drawing Robot/Pen Plotter/Drawing Machine is an Open Hardware version of the well-known AxiDraw pen plotter.
Drawing Robot/Pen Plotter/Drawing Machine is an Open Hardware version of the well-known AxiDraw pen plotter, which can write or draw on nearly any flat surface.
It can handle a wide range of applications by writing with pens, permanent markers, pencils, and other writing utensils.
Its one-of-a-kind design includes a writing head that extends outside the machine, allowing it to draw on items that are larger than the machine.
Because of the machine’s core XY extending design, it can be put over the book, which is its major benefit.
This Drawing Robot/Pen Plotter/Drawing Machine looks a lot like the AxiDraw, which is a commercially available product.
It’s controlled by an Arduino Uno, has a CNC Shield, and runs on GRBL firmware.
The cost of building the Drawing Robot varies between $75 and $150, depending on where you buy your parts and whether you already have some, such as the Arduino.
24 * 30 cm is the maximum sketching area.
Step 1: Gather the necessary parts and materials
Nema 17 stepper motors (two) 2 × M8 x 450mm Linear Rods for X Axis 2 × M8 x 350mm Linear Rods for Y Axis 2 x 3mm Linear Rods for the Z Axis (you can get it from old CDROM) 1 × Threaded Rod M8 x 480mm8 x LM8UU Bearings 1 x Sg901 x Spring 5m Servo (from ball point pen) 2 x GT2 Pulley, 16 teeth Bearing 624zz (Set of 5) 1 × 2000mm GT2 belt 1 × Arduino Uno 1 x CNC Shield 2 x A4988 stepper drivers, each with its own heatsink 6 x Jumpers 1 × 12V 2A Power Supply
M3-0.5 x M4-0.7 x M3-0.5 x M4-0.7 x M3-0.5 x M4-0.7 18 x 4 x 5/16in
Amazon\sScrews
13 × M3-0.5 x 16mm Phillips 4 pcs M3-0.5 x 6mm Phillips 5 pcs M4-0.7x 35mm Phillips 1 × M3-0.5 x 20mm Hex Washers washer, 4 x 5/16in M3 washers (four)
Step 2: 3D Printing
Thingiverse is where you can get the files.
Cura or another slicer may be used to open the 3D models.
Use a 75 percent infill on all portions (a 70 to 100 percent infill would suffice).
All pieces were printed with a layer height of 0.10–0.20 mm.
PLA was used to print this.
Use the Penholder, Slider, X Support L, and X Support R as supports.
Note: The longest component took around 10 hours to print, while the shortest took only 30 minutes.
PLA is suitable for this project.
On BuildTak, I print at 200°C.
There are no rafts or brims required for any of the sections.
Only the pen holder and the upright Z axis end plate should be supported, in my opinion.
Step 3: Put the X-Axis together
Keep in mind that you’ll need two 350mm and two 450mm linear rods.
Insert the (2) 450mm linear rods into one of the x-support parts.
You may need to smooth up the holes with a round file before inserting the rods. You may also use a rubber mallet to assist insert the rods.
The threaded rod should now be inserted into the hole below.
On both sides of the x-support section, feed a 5/16in washer and 5/16in nut.
Step 4: Put the X-Axis Bearing Together
Slide the clamshell through the 450mm linear rods (X-axis).
Attach the final X-support on the linear rods with a rubber mallet once again.
Make sure the rods are evenly spaced on both sides.
Thread the opposite end of the threaded rod through the X-hole. support’s To keep the X-support in place, add the last set of nuts and washers.
You may now add (2) Phillips M3-0.5 x 16mm screws per X-support to assist keep the linear rods from slipping now that the X-axis is complete.
Now you must push the LM8UU bearings into their proper positions on the top and bottom clamshells (each clamshell requires four bearings).
Push four 624zz bearings through the idler pulleys that were 3D-printed. When assembling the Y-axis, save the fifth bearing for later.
Construct the X-Axis (Carriage)
With the idler pulleys fitted, get (4) M3-0.5 x 20mm screws, (4) M3 nuts, (4) M3 washers, and (4) 624zz bearings.
Feed a washer through one screw; the washer will rest on the bearing.
The bearing will be secured in place by a nut at the bottom of the carriage.
You may now use (2) Phillips M3-0.5 x 16mm screws to complete the X-axis.
each X-support, screws to protect the linear rods from slipping
Step 5: Put the Y-Axis together
Using a rubber mallet, insert the (2) 350mm linear rods into the Y-back piece.
Obtain one M4-0.5 x 35 screw, one M4 nut, and the fifth 624zz bearing.
To fasten the linear rods, get two M3-0.5 x 16 screws.
When screwing the Y-back piece together, slide the bearing in.
Slide the linear rods/Y-back piece through the LM8UU bearings and use a rubber mallet to secure the Y-front piece.
Step 6: Put the X-Y Axis Together (Belt)
To make it easier to guide the GT2 belt through the clamshell, use a set of needle nose pliers.
Take the two ends of the belt and thread them through the Base Slider’s “teeth.”
The belt should be snug, not slack.
It is common for the clamshell to not move freely after the GT2 belt is installed.
Step 7: Put the Z-Axis together.
2 3mm linear rods and the 3D printed items listed below (Slider, Pen Holder, Base Slide, 3MM Metric Thumb Screw)
Take one Hex M3-0.5 x 20mm screw and one Metric Thumb Screw and combine them.
To hold things together, use superglue.
You’ll need three M3-0.5 x 16mm screws to fasten the Base Slide to the Y-Front portion.
To keep it in place, you might need to use three M3-0.5 nuts.
To make one piece, push the Slider and Pen Holder together.
Step 8: ELECTRONICS
ELECTRONICS
I recommend that you utilise the Arduino uno CNC Shield.
Prepared for your whole circuit
1) A4988 Stepper Motor Driver, 4 pcs 2) A4988 Expansion Board Driver 3)Arduino UNO (Arduino Uno)
To begin, take the hit sink and place it on the A4988 motor driver.
Attach four A4988 stepper motor drivers to the A4988 driver module on the extension board, then connect the arduino to the expansion board and connect all wire.
The shield also includes built-in micro stepping control, which means that instead of utilising full or half steps like a huge CNC, we can have the motors move by 1/16 or 1/32 of a step to move the laser with the greatest accuracy.
The motors, on the other hand, will use more electricity and become hotter more quickly.
Short several of the mode pins together to use the micro stepping modes.
Various combinations result in various resolutions.
Take a look at the diagram to see the many combinations that are available.
After the shield has been configured, connect the A4988 drivers and the rest of the electronics.
Use a multimeter to locate the stepper motor coils.
You have a coil if there is resistance between the two wires.
The coils are represented on the diagram by two wires of the same colour.
Step 9: APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Inkscape is a graphics design software programme (draw or import graphics)
MI GRBL Extension for Inkscape (convert graphics to G-Code)
G Code Sender (Universal) (sends the G-Code to the robot causing drawing motion)
The Arduino firmware is GRBL (programmed into the Arduino Uno)

Compatible with the Uno and other 328p versions of the Arduino development platform. (Note: grbl 0.6 is not compatible with 168-based Arduinos (nor will it ever be), and currently grbl does not support the Arduino Megas).
- Driver motors : = motor driver is a little current amplifier; the function of motor drivers is to take a low-current control signal and then turn it into a higher-current signal that can drive a motor.
- 9 gram servo : = A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity and acceleration.[1] It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback. It also requires a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed specifically for use with servomotors. Benbox software

How To Make DIY Pen Plotter / Homework Writing Machine at Home
This Drawing Robot/Pen Plotter/Drawing Machine is similar to the commercially available AxiDraw. It is powered by an Arduino Uno controller, uses a CNC Shield, and GRBL firmware.
The cost to build the Drawing Robot is between $75 and $100 depending on where you buy your parts and whether you already own some of the parts such as the Arduino.

3D Printing
- Download the files from Thingiverse
- Open the 3D models in Cura or any other slicer(Sli3er, Simplify 3D, etc.)
- Use 75% infill on all the parts (An infill of 70 – 100% will work as well)
- Printed all the parts with 0.10 – 0.20 mm layer height
- Printed with Hatchbox Red PLA
- Use supports on the Penholder, Slider, X_Support_L and the X_Support_R
Note: The longest part took around 9hrs and the shortest took 30 minutes to print
3D Printed Parts
Cut your Linear Rods
Use a measuring tape and sharpie to mark the spots where the rods need to be cut
- Use a vise to hold the rods in place when you cut them
- Remember that you need (2) 350mm and (2) 450mm long linear rods
- On the threaded rod, mark your cutting point at 470mm
Assemble the X-Axis (Linear/Threaded Rods)
Take the (2) 450mm linear rods and insert them into either x-support part
- Use may need to use a round file to smooth out the holes that you insert them in
- Also, you can use a rubber mallet to help insert the rods
Now take the threaded rod and insert it in the hole below. Feed a 5/16in washer and 5/16in nut on both sides of the x-support part
Assemble the X-Axis (Bearings)
Now you want to push the LM8UU bearings into their place on the top and bottom clamshell (The top and bottom clamshell take (4) bearings each)
Take (4) 624zz bearings and push them through the 3D-printed idler pulleys. Leave the 5th bearing for later when you assemble the Y-axis
Assemble the X-Axis (Carriage)
- Get (4) M3-0.5 x 20mm screws, (4) M3 nuts, (4) M3 washers and (4) 624zz bearings with the idler pulleys installed
- Take one screw and feed a washer through it, the washer will rest on the bearing. The nut will be at the bottom of the carriage, which will secure the bearing in place
Assemble the X-Axis (X-Support)
- Slide the clamshell through the 450mm (X-axis) linear rods
- Use a rubber mallet again to attach the last X-support on the linear rods
- Make sure that the rods stick out equally on both sides
- Slide the other end of the threaded rod through the hole on the X-support
- Put on the last set of nuts and washers to hold the X-support in place
- Now that the X-axis is complete, you can use (2) Phillips M3-0.5 x 16mm screws per X-support to help keep the linear rods from sliding
Assemble the X-Axis (Stepper Motors)
- Use an appropriate sized allen wrench to attach the 16 teeth pulleys on the stepper motor shafts
- Flipping the entire chassis around will make it easier to attach the stepper motors
- Use (8) M3-0.5 x 6mm screws and a Phillips screwdriver to attach the (2) stepper motors
Assemble the Y-Axis (Clamshell)
(Optional if you have problems keeping belt on bearings)
- Grab (4) M4-0.5 x 35mm screws and (4) M4 nuts
- Make sure that you have the (4) idler pulleys ( Download from Thingiversa ) and the (4) washers printed
- Insert the washers in between the two clamshells, with a screw in between
- Screw the top and bottom clamshells together
Assemble the Y-Axis (Y- Back/Front)
- Take the (2) 350mm linear rods and insert them the Y-back piece by using a rubber mallet
- Get (1) M4-0.5 x 35 screw, (1) M4 nut and the 5th 624zz bearing
- Get (2) M3-0.5 x 16 screws to secure the linear rods
- Slide in the bearing when inserting the screw through the Y-back piece
- Slide the the linear rods/Y-back piece through the LM8UU bearings and attach the Y-front piece using a rubber mallet
Assemble the X-Y Axis (Belt)
- Use a pair of needle nose pliers to help guide the GT2 belt more easily through the clamshell
- Take the two ends of the belt and slide them through the “teeth” on the Base Slider
- The belt should be tight and not loose
- Note that once the GT2 belt is on, it is normal for the clamshell not to move easily
Belt Diagram
Assemble the Z-Axis
- Get (2) 3mm linear rods and the following 3D printed parts (Slider, Pen Holder, Base Slide, 3MM Metric Thumb Screw)
- Get (1) Hex M3-0.5 x 20mm screw and the Metric Thumb Screw and push them together. Use superglue to keep it together.
- Get (3) M3-0.5 x 16mm screws which you will use the secure the Base Slide to the Y-Front part. You may need to use (3) M3-0.5 nuts in order to hold it in place
- Push the Slider and Pen Holder together to make one piece
- Now take that new part and the (2) 3mm linear rods and slide the rods through the holes. Place a small spring in between the two parts so there is a little bit of pressure to lift the Slider. You may need to cut the spring a bit until there is an adequate amount of pressure on the slider.

i constructed all the machine but when i press X+ the both X and Y axis are moving what is the problem
double check the steppers wiring
Have you solved it? I have the same problem with my machine, when I press X+, it’s necessary both motors move at same time, but, only one of them move…
Did you solve this problem?
Same problem how to solve ,?
Is it true that you didn’t use the microswitches in the final design?
Hello how to co figurę this machine to RUN on GRBL. What I mean is that GRBL interprets commands for x axis and y axis independently and if I look on your belt diagram it looks like both Motors have to run at the same time in order to move the carriage along y axis… How did you do that?
Have you solved it?
Thank you, thank you. It’s a very good built.
Is it possible to modify it to draw using brush ang oil based paint ?
Could you please tell what software/plug in and which version do you use to generate g-code for this machine?
Hello, what is the width of your belt? 6mm or 10mm? Thanks!
