How to Make Mini CNC Machine
by shubhamsuresh
Hello all hope you are doing good. I'm here with
another very cool project which you can build using
some scrap/ used parts of the computer. In this
Instructables I'm going to show you how you can
make a mini CNC Machine at home from the old DVD
Writers of the Computer and the Arduino UNO. by
using this CNC machine you can draw logo and can
write text also. For better understanding, you can
refer this v ide o .

Step 1:
Components Used
5- L293D IC 2X _______________________ USA / INDIA
1- Old/ Used DVD Writers 2X ___________ (you can get
these from any computer repairing/servicing shop)
6- A piece of Aluminium ________________ From local
store
2- Arduino UNO 1X ___________________ USA / INDIA
7- M5x25mm Nuts & Bolts ______________ From local
store
3- Servo Motor 1X ____________________ USA / INDIA
4- CNC Shield V1 (PCB)________________ PCBWay.com
8- axible Wires_______________________ From local
store

Step 2:
let's start.
Open both DVD Writer and remove the lens driving
assembly as shown in the pictures. this assembly has
two motors one is bipolar stepper motor to drive
read/write head and another is a BLDC motor to spin
the Disk. remove the disk driving motor since we don't
need this motor. we are going to play with the stepper
motor in this project. solder wires to the 4 points of
the stepper motor. solder wires to both motors.

Step 3:
Now take a 120mm long piece of L shape aluminum, mark on it for drilling holes as shown in pictures. after drilling
bolt both the lens assemblies with each other by using L shape aluminum. for reference see the pictures and
assemble the body as shown. in this assembly, verticle tted stepper motor will be Y-Axis and Horizontal stepper
motor will be X-Axis

Step 4:
after making body it's time to make a bed ( at surface) for placing paper on the machine. to make it I using cover of
DVD writer which is made up of about 0.6mm thick sheet metal. mark a square of 70 x70 mm on it. and cut it using
Angle Grinder. now put some hot glue on center part (moving part) of lens and stick the cut piece of sheet metal on
it in such a way so that it can move freely. see pictures.

Step 5: Making a Pen Holder
make the pen holder as shown in pictures. to make it I cut a sliding part from another old DVD writer same as used
for making X & Y axis. there is nothing more to explain about the pen holder. it's basically a z-axis of our CNC. here
we are using a servo motor for up and down the pen.

Step 6:
Fix this pen assembly on the vertical axis (y-axis) of the machine. I used a piece of wood to maintain a suitable space
between the y-axis and the pen holder.

Step 7:
t Arduino on the aluminum with the help of nuts &
bolts as shown in pictures. and insert CNC shield on
the Arduino. the CNC shield used in this project is
designed by me. you can buy PCB for this shield from
PCBw a y. co m . now connect x-axis stepper motor
on the X-axis output of the shield and y-axis stepper
motor on the Y-output of the shield. connect servo
motor on the servo connector of the shield.

Step 8: Programming and Operation
Download the source code and all other required
software from the given link . connect Arduino with
the computer open the Arduino code from the
downloaded le. select the correct COM port and
board type from the tool menu and hit upload. after
successfully uploading of the program open the G
code Sender EXE select correct COM port after
selecting COM port all options in the application will
open. now click load G-code button to select your le
which you want to draw.

Step 9: Fixing Problems Like Mirror Image Output
this is very common problem while making these types of machines. if you get mirror image on output, check on
which axis it has mirror e ect. see pictures.

Step 10: How to Make G-code ?
to draw something using this CNC machine we need
the G-code. so if I want to make a drawing of a car I
need to convert that car image (JPG or PNG) into Gcode. to convert or make G-code of something we
need Inkscape software. I provide Inks ca pe
s o f t w a re in the M icro CNC Da t a z ip . install
Inkscape after installing Inkscape you need to install
extension for saving G-code. to do this open the folder
Inks ca pe - unico rn- m a s t e r from M icro CNC
Da t a z ip . Copy All the contents of `src/` folder and
pest them to your Inkscape `extensions/` folder.
Typical locations include:
* Windows - `C:\Program
Files\Inkscape\share\extensions`
* OS X `/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/exte
nsions`
* Linux - `/usr/share/Inkscape/extensions`
after installing all things, software is ready to make Gcode
open Inkscape goto le/document property it will
pop-ups a new window set all units in mm here, and
set width = 40 and height=40 in size and close the
window. Now drag the target image and scale down it
so it will t in the output area. now select the image
goto the pa t h t a b click on t ra ce bit m a p. new
window will open, select e dg e de t e ct io n click
upda t e click o k. it will create a duplicate shape of
original image. delete the original image. Now place
this new image on the top right corner in such a way
that the top right corner of output area will be the
center of target image. select new image goto pa t h
t a b click o bje ct t o pa t h again goto pa t h tab click
D y na m ic O s e t . now goto le / s a v e As , type
le na m e select s a v e a s t y pe = M a ke rB o t
Unico rn G- co de and click save, new window will
open check all the parameters and if not same set
them as shown in the picture. click ok and your Gcode is ready to load in G-code sender.

Great, man! I was looking for a simple cnc project made using recycled components and you have
done a great job. Thank you for sharing it!
thanks man.
Nice work! What kind of software do you use?
I made it some time ago, using A4988 drivers: http://svenhb.bplaced.net/?
CNC___Mini_CNC_Plotter
I control it with grbl on Arduino and GRBL-Plotter on Win-PC: https://github.com/svenhb/GRBLPlotter
