Making an Arduino-based CNC plotter out of a DVD player is as easy as 1, 2, what’s Arduino again?

An interesting Arduino project has been published to the Instructables website showing how an Arduino CNC shield and controller has been used to create an awesome 3 axis Arduino CNC plotter.

Instructables user Ardumotive_com has published a new project that explains how to create your very own Arduino powered mini CNC plotter.

If you take either of these routes you don’t need to know much about CNC, but why not use the tool to learn? This is what [Wootin24] did when building a 3D printed plotter with DVD drive parts.

As an example, the plotter uses 2020 extrusions and lead screws. An Arduino with a CNC shield provides the brains.
