@ -7,19 +7,23 @@ TDM has been developed for the project Digital Wax Print, a self initiated resea

### Machine
|
||||
|
||||
The machine is a custom build inspired by different projects, like this one [here](https://openbuilds.com/threads/cnc-sand-and-spraycalk-drawmaschine.8927/#post-52036)
|
||||
It works rouhgly like a 3D printer but with a two positions Z axis.
|
||||
|
||||
### Firmware
|
||||
|
||||
- configuration file for Marlin v1.1.1 (https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/archive/1.1.x.zip)
|
||||
- the file has been modified for the DigitalWaxPrint plotter
|
||||
The machine is powered by an arduino MEGA and a RAMPS 1.4.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Contours
|
||||
The firmware used is Marlin v1.1.1 [here] (https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/archive/1.1.x.zip)
|
||||
It has been modified to fit the needs of this machine. The files can be found under the firmware directory of this repository.
|
||||
|
||||
- TBD
|
||||
#### G-code generation and controlling the machine
|
||||
|
||||
### cad2GCode
|
||||
The machine is controlled using G-code. To send the G-code instrucions to the machine several software can be used. One very suitable option is to use Pronterface [here] (http://www.pronterface.com/).
|
||||
|
||||
- you will need python2.7 to run the program
|
||||
- you will need pip to install the dependencies
|
||||
- install the dependencies `sudo pip install -r dependencies`
|
||||
- run the program `python2.7 cad.py`
|
||||
To generate the G-code instructions for the machine, the python software contours can be used. It takes a png as input and ouput the corresponding G-code. It can found under the contour directory of this repository.
|
||||
|
||||
To streamline the all process of generating the code, a frontend can be launched. It offers a web page with some basic G-code instructions that can be used to calibrate the machine and an interface where it is possible to upload the png file and convert them to G-code.
