Makers and Arduino enthusiasts looking for a new project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a new DIY CNC drawing machine created by Mr Innovative. The tiny CNC plotter uses an ...

In this project I will show you how to easily build your own low-cost Arduino Mini CNC Plotter! Ardunino based CNC plotter machine – made from two dvd drives!

The CNC-Machine Instructable, created by the folks at CNC World, is fairly straightforward. You take apart a DVD player and then use the case to create a sort of platform for the system.

It was LinkSprite’s desktop mini CNC. They didn’t have one out on display, but there were two of them in boxes on the shelf. And boy, those boxes were small. Laughably small.

And now, not only does OP deliver with a working CNC plotter, he also plans to develop it into a self-replicating machine. To be honest, we made the challenge with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
