Make It Last Build #3, Drawing With Your Drawbot


The latest Make It Last Build Series Dispatch, #6, went out today. It includes the last build instructions for this project. It covers understanding the parameters that you’ll need to consider in your machine (e.g. diameter of the spools you used and the size of your draw area), how to set up and calibrate your Drawbot, and setting up your first draw program. You can access the latest newsletter here.

And don’t forget to upload photos of your work to the MAKE Flickr pool (tag them: makeitlast) so you’ll be eligible for a chance to win cool prizes — see more details below and on the Make It Last landing page. Deadline for entries is 11:59 PST on Thursday, March 3, 2011. Any images are eligible, they don’t have to be of a finished, working drawing machine. We’d love to see your progress pictures, even if you’re just getting started!

First Prize:
* MPLAB® ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger

    I am looking back at this and wanting to do it again; however, I cannot seem to find my dispatches and the landing page is gone. Is there a place where I can pick up the source and instructions?
