This gondola can be printed in PLA using 0.2 layer height and doesn't need supports. It requires the following hardware to be fully built:

  • 1x M4 screw 40mm: used to hold pen in place

  • 2x M4 nut: to insert in main shaft and pen holding ring to stabilize screw holding pen

  • 2x M8 bolt 40mm: use in main body, holds washers

  • 2x corresponding M8 nut: secure washers to bolt

  • 80x M8 washers (8.4 mm inner × 24 mm outer × 2 mm thick; they usually come in boxes of 100): the main weight on the body and in the counterweights

For the full build you’ll also need GT2 timing belt and a Miuzei 9G micro servo. The servo is held by friction, with no screws. If it feels loose, add a bit of tape to its sides; the extra thickness and grip will make it sit snug in the gap.

Using penny washers instead: If you’d rather use 25 mm penny washers, I’ve included a slightly larger counterweight model in a separate folder. You may need a few more washers. Note that the full build plate download includes the standard M8 washer counterweight (24 mm).

A tutorial for building the entire vertical wall drawing robot is coming soon.
