Procedure for opening the drives is shown in the images, but it should be considered as a general guide as all the DVDCD drives are not the same.I like to do DIY projects to learn things and share the knowledge learnt by impar.There are already a number of good DIYs, Tutorials and YouTube videos on the topic but I was unable to dive into the details needed to build this project.
Hence after its completion I am posting everything that is required. I will try to keep this walk through very simple and basic so that even a reader from non technical background would be able to replicate this project. What is it all About The idea behind it is very simple, first we select an image or text (that we want our machine to draw on a piece of paper). Then it is converted into a machine code with the help of a software. Why build this project Whether you are a hobbyist or an enthusiast, you want to explore capabilities of this machine or just want to build it for fun, this project will teach you a lot of things. Draw State Hine Models Of The Control Software For The Software For A Dvd Player How To Convert ImagesAlso if you are planning to build Arduino based bigger, better and more precise CNC, then this project is worth considering as it covers some basic aspects like how CNCs work, how to convert images text to Gcode, stream Gcode, configure stepper motor driver, power management and more. However, for a serious CNC enthusiast there are many more things to be explored that arent covered here intentionally to keep this instructable very basic and simple for everyone to understand. I will be posting few links where ever possible to encourage readers to dive even deeper into the subject. Although its not extremely necessary if you just want to grasp the basics. Disclaimer: I am not a CNC professional, this instructable is a result of knowledge gained from books, Internet and experimentations. All the experiments and activities presented here should be tried with caution, safety and at own risk. I shall not be responsible for any damages as a result of any activities contained within this instructable.

Arduino Uno 2. EasyDriver (A3967 IC based stepper motor driver) x 3 3. D.C. Power source 5. DVD CD drives (scrap) x 3 6. Acrylic glass wood aluminum foam board for mounting XYZ axes 7. Spanners 10. BallGel Pen 11. Wires 12. Female DC Barrel jack 13. Spacers Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 2: Salvaging Stepper Motors CNCs are known for their precise motions in X,Y and Z axes. The hardware responsible for executing these motions are the stepper motors. We will be using scrap DVDCD drives for this project and in the process we shall recycle e-waste and do something that is eco-friendly. E-waste sellers traders and computer service centers are the places where one can easily find such kind of scrapped DVDCD drives and they almost cost nothing. I intentionally bought 3 DVD drives made by 3 different manufacturers in-order to study the variations in-terms of the steppers motors and lead screws.
