Make a CNC Machine from old DVD writer
Video of CNC Machine Working
Material Required
1)Arduino Nano x1
2)Old DVD writer x2
3)Motor Driver (L293D) x2
4)16 pin IC socket x2
5) Veroboard doted x1
or you can make pcb

12) Double sided tape
13)Pen
14)Acrylic sheet
Cutting & Drilling Acrylic Sheet
1pcs 12"x6" (Fore base)
2pcs 1.5"x7" (For X-Axis Stand)
1pcs 3"x3" (For Writing base)
3pcs 1.5"x3"(For Moving part of X-Axis & Y-Axis and also for pen holder)
8pcs .5"x,5" (For specer)
Marke for drilling then drill it
Extract X-Axis & Y-Axis From Old DVD Writer
Solder Wire With Stepper Motor.
Attach 1.5"x 3" Sheet With Moving Part of X-Axis and Y-Axis by Using Glue Gun
