Printr Egg Boogie Board Bot

thingiverse

Built this X-Y Plotter, by integrating parts from various sources. Used: a PrintrBot Simple frame and hardware (assembled only what was minimally needed for this purpose); Egg-Bot electronics and the pen-holder attachment; a couple of NEMA 17 bipolar stepper motors; and a Boogie Board (Original 8.5 version) as the plotting/drawing surface. I was initially taping an index card onto the print platform for testing purposes, but when I saw this Boogie Board at a toy store, it seemed like a perfect choice to be used as the writing surface. One can draw/write anything on it, and erase with a press of a button. Of course, it can still be removed and any other suitable surface can be taped or mounted on the print platform, as necessary. http://youtu.be/Wq5CyZPzx-4http://youtu.be/hj-p812IqQQ Sources of parts/components used:http://printrbot.com/http://egg-bot.com/http://shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/tinykitlist/171-egg-bothttp://www.improvelectronics.com/ The software used is Inkscape with the Egg-Bot extensions.
