Abstract - In today’s world, 3D printers are only available in
science fiction stories but is now a real tangible product that is
used to create objects. One who wants to make a 3D printer
without spending 1000's of rupees is impossible. The
inspiration for this project comes from the fact that 3D printer
is really innovative and revolutionary idea but along with that
they are very costly. This high cost limits the imagination of
the ordinary people. The high-quality 3D printers come at a
range of 65,000- 1,40,000 rupees. It all starts with imagination
of the object we want to create. One can create an affordable
3D printer by using equipment in their surrounding or
probably at home which is the main aim of this project. The
technology of 3D printing are often used to create imagination
into reality, parts of the machinery of kit which aren't
available within the market, prototypes of latest idea. Due to
the price, this printing technology access to world is very
limited but through this project there will be an increase in the
access of self-made 3D printers with the unwanted scrap
materials.
In this paper along with 3D usage, we will also be using the
same mechanism in order to create a sketching matching
leading to the multipurpose view of a single machine with the
help of an ATMEGA 328P microcontroller.
Key Words – fiction, revolutionary, prototypes, module,
scrap, multipurpose, microcontroller.
1. INTRODUCTION
Our idea was inspired by all of the CD-ROM CNC (Computer
Numerical control) machines that are seen in the industries.
They’ve been used as drawbots, laser cutters, drill presses,
but never have been one used for a 3D printer at least not a
reasonably priced one for multipurpose usage. So the goal of
this project is to show how to make your own 3D printer
from old CD-ROMs drives and a cheap 3D printing pen. 3D
printers have certainly revolutionized the world. This
project shows the simple and practical construction of CNC
machine wide application of converting the CNC machines
into 3D printer. The cost, construction, advantages,
application are shown in this project. Due to rise of new
techniques, demand for Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
plotter machines in daily usage areas like educational
institutions etc is on a rise. Low-cost manufacture of Printed
Circuit Board (PCB) has become a basic need in electronics
laboratories, for electronics engineering students as PCB is
needed in every basic circuit. This project will present an
affordable model of 3D printers’ machine which is able to
draw a circuit layout on PCB or any other solid surface using
simple algorithm and available components and can even
make out small sized objects. At first the user needs to
convert any image file (basically the thing that one has to get
as final output) into G code using Grbl software and then
feed it to the machine using Processing software.
ATmega328P microcontroller is used as the control device
for this project. Instead of the Arduino UNO board, we will be
using only the Atmega 328P IC for the controlling of the
stepper motors. This element will even reduce the cost of the
printer.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
In 2017, George Isaakidis, Antonis Spiropoulos [1] proposed
about additive manufacturing. Additive Manufacturing (AM)
is that the process of making a three-dimensional object by
placing successive layers of fabric. AM engulfs a good range
of production methods, like Selective Laser Sintering,
Stereolithography, Multi-Jet Modelling and Fused Deposition
Modelling. The term 3D printing refers to a process where an
inject printer head lays binder material upon a surface
covered with powder. However, this term is employed
widely in colloquial for generally any AM technique.
Romero-Alva, Alvarado-Diaz, Roman-Gonzalez [2] proposed
about the proper usage of material that is used for the 3D
printing and which should be safe for the environment. An
important part of 3D printing is to supply printable material
to the printer whenever when needed, which is essentially
through with the inclusion of plastic filament reels of which
the foremost common is that the PLA. ABS plastic is
pretended to boost awareness within the recycling of
materials like plastic to avoid pollution, and by this, the
famous three ecological R’s that's Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
are often put into practice.
In 2015 Mohamed Y. Tarnini [3] issued a paper regarding
the usage of fast and cheap use of stepper motor drives.
Stepper motor is employed in most applications that require
