废旧 DVD 光驱改装迷你 CNC 2D 绘图机 —— 基于 L293D 电机扩展板
所需组件与物料
- Arduino UNO × 1(主控)
- L293D 电机扩展板 × 1(驱动双轴步进电机)
- 9g 微型舵机 (Tower Pro SG90) × 1(Z 轴笔升降)
- 报废 DVD 光驱 × 2(拆取滑台步进电机作 X/Y 轴)
- 杜邦线若干
所需软件
- Arduino IDE
- Processing IDE(上位机 G-code 发送器)
- Inkscape 0.48.5(矢量图转 G-code,必须此版本,新版插件不兼容)
制作步骤
1. 机械结构组装
拆解两台 DVD 光驱,取出带步进电机的滑台(含导轨、丝杠、激光头座)。滑台即为现成的直线运动模块,分别作为 X 轴与 Y 轴。

在空光驱外壳上钻孔,用螺栓将 X/Y 滑台垂直固定(X 轴横向,Y 轴纵向承载 X 轴)。舵机安装在 X 轴滑块上,推动笔杆上下作为 Z 轴。

2. G-code 生成流程
- 安装 Inkscape 0.48.5(官方旧版下载)。
- 安装 gcodetools 插件(GitHub),按说明配置刀具参数、画布范围。
- 在 Inkscape 中绘制/导入矢量图(SVG),用扩展生成 G-code 文件(.gcode)。
- 参考 YouTube 教程
gcodetools inkscape tutorial完整操作流程。
3. 运行绘图
- Arduino IDE 上传 Arduino CNC 固件(见下方代码)。
- Processing IDE 打开 gctrl.pde(见下方代码),点击运行。
- Processing 窗口操作:
- 按 p 选择串口
- 按 1/2/3 设定点动速度
- 按 g 加载 .gcode 文件
- 回车开始绘图

测试用 G-code 文件
原理图

关键提示:
- DVD 步进电机通常为 7.5°/步 (48 步/圈),丝杠导程约 3mm/圈 → 理论 16 步/mm,实测标定
StepsPerMillimeter。 - L293D 扩展板需外接电源驱动步进电机(建议 9-12V),Arduino 另供电。
- 舵机角度 83°/95° 需按实机调整。
- Inkscape 0.48.5 为硬性要求,新版 API 变更导致 gcodetools 不兼容。
