Bert forks Makelangelo and builds a new pen holder

Bert Balcaen says,

“I was impatient and made my own parts suitable for laser cutting. See https://github.com/bertbalcaen/DrawBot/tree/master/printable-parts for spools, motor mounts and pen holder. Motor mounts are based on your design, spools were inspired by http://stuartchilds.com/2012/07/drbo-thread-spool-assembly/. I did a write up here: http://www.iaacblog.com/mai2012-2013-physicalcomputing/2012/12/drawing-machine-prototype/

Thanks for opensourcing this project – great work!”

Meanwhile I’m designing a robot gripper and waiting for china to deliver my bobbins.
