In order to test the plotting function, I had to connect the plotter to a computer and explore the software to send commands / files to it. Next, I decided to first test the plotter function so I attached the pen holding mechanism. When the wires are connected and all bolts are tightened, the main assembly is done. One of my children helped me screw these parts together:Īfter tightening these two bolts on the side, I took off the nuts that were on top of the four bolts in the picture below, put the two axes on top of each other, and put the nuts back, tightening them by hand all the way:įinally, to complete the assembly, the wires all need to be connected to the motors and to one of the limit switches on the X axis. To assemble the machine after it’s taken out of the box, the two axes (X-axis and Y-axis) need to be joined together using four nuts, and a metal piece need to be joined to one of the sides with two bolts.

The plotter uses GCode to operate, and uses a small stepper motor to lift the pen carriage / laser carriage up and down.
Sovol SO2 is a multi-functional plotter/laser engraver with bed size of 280x210mm. I will focus on the plotting function in this blog post and will review the laser function in the next post. In this blog post, I will review Sovol SO2 Plotter provided to me by the manufacturer. Time to time, I get to try another plotter and evaluate it. I run, and have been very active in the plotter community in the recent years.
