Hello, just joined, looking to build a router plotter tp replace my defunct old 30+yr calcomp.....
I hope to compleat a build that will pen plot upto a3, and cut plastics and thin metal/engrave etc (about 150mm depth max)
I think what i need is flying gantry with something like a dremel attachment
thing is its got to be a budget build, preferably from scrap and b&q......
so, hope to be successful at this, as failure would mean buying something to do the job, and i know that would hurt, buying something that should be built.
I'm active on other groups related to car-pc (http://www.digital-car.co.uk/) and car repairs, so i am moderately skilled with hand tools and a soldering iron, and as i build i'll be keeping the other forums updated on my progress, a few of them are all interested to see how i get on.....
