Getting started

• Start by ordering all neccessary part needed for the build. Use parts list for reference
• You can in paralel start with printing all printed parts
• When you have all the parts start the assembly process
• Upload GRBL firmware onto Arduino
• Modify GRBL config to be the same as the reference on github
• Try to home your bottle plotter, be ready to turn it of in case of crash

Manufacturing resources

• 3D Model https://cad.onshape.com/documents/39d12f9046f30a3a8d27d3a6/w/22b7987c4c49474e20d7ab2c/e/e2aa020f57ba51d7f6ca55f8?renderMode=0&uiState=6641cd91d067751e5ce12537
• Parts list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IbpUXygSXaxqdkgz3Y6rmIXEAm9HOfCtqmNR5Q4xavQ/edit?usp=sharing

Printed parts

All printed parts are designed to be printed without support on draft 0.3mm layer setting PLA with 30% infill.

SW stack

• Inkscape
• SVG file
• SVG to GCODE (Mine very pre-Aplha on https://bottleslicer.gaman.cz)
• CNCjs
• GRBL

TBD

• Test some proper GCODE generator
• Find some better electronics board
• Better screw adapters
• More optimizations of printed parts for less material and print time
