The Spice Must Flow: a coreXY Sand Table

Discussion in 'DrawBot' started by Mark Rehorst, Nov 4, 2018.

A 1.9 x 1 m table that uses a magnet to move a steel ball and draw geometric patterns in sand. The magnet is moved using a corexy mechanism driven by 3D printer controller board reading the patterns in the form of gcode files.

    Great job on this one Mark! I really love the look of these sand tables and hope to make one for the shop soon.
    Thanks for taking the time to share this build in detail.
    Keep em coming :thumbsup:
    p.s. I did not know you were the guy who made the fractal hand I have seen this floating around the interwebs for a while and always thought it was awesome.

    Thanks! It was a very fast build for me- most of my projects take me a year or more to finish enough to expose to public scrutiny. I'm still making some small tweaks to some of the mechanical stuff to improve long term reliability- I hate it when things break down and have to be repaired over and over.

    The hand thing was something I did in 2005 while I was learning how to use Adobe Photoshop. I haven't done anything nearly as nice since then.
