There was a time when plotters were the pinnacle of computer graphics output. While they aren’t as common as they used to be, there are some advantages to having a plotter. [Symon] wanted a plotter and decided to make one from scratch. Truthfully, he wants to build a CNC machine, so the plotter is just a […]
LESSONS LEARNED WHILE BUILDING A DIY PEN PLOTTER Read More »
This is my P-CNC plotter which is laid out and disguised as a quadruped robot. Today, I’d like to share how I made it. It was quite simple, no 3D printer required, just need my meticulousness, care and a little patience. Please check the brief description and how P-Plotter works in the video below before
[Mr Innovative] decided to make his version of a small pen plotter (video after the break) to make labels on masking tape. The result is an impressive compact machine that is remotely controlled using your smartphone. The plotter is constructed using several different techniques, a piece of plywood as the base, a 3D printed bracket for the
We see a lot of simple pen plotter projects around here, and while we appreciate them one and all, most of them are a little on the slow side. That’s OK — a glacial pace is sometimes all that’s needed, as long as it gets the job done. But there’s nothing wrong with putting the
In this instructable, we will learn to make an XY plotter/ Vertical plotter drawing machine using Arduino. With this very efficient Vertical Drawing machine, We can draw images on different paper sizes, walls, or whiteboards along with printing texts, generating arts and graffiti. Vector images(SVG) are fed to them as input, for printing jpeg and

Time-lapse video with hatch fill extension from Inkscape. Step 1: Bill of Materials Main components: 1pcs x Arduino Mega 2560. 1pcs x RAMPS 1.4 Controller. 2pcs x A4988 Stepper Driver Module. 2pcs x Stepper
An Egg plotter is an art robot that can draw on spherical shaped objects such as eggs. You could also use this machine to draw on ping pong balls and golf balls. You can use your imagination with the designs you put on it, you could for example make personalized eggs for Easter. In this
With the world opening up again, [Niklas Roy] and [Kati Hyyppä] have been busy making a public and collaborative project. Meet the Vektor Kollektor, a portable drawing machine experience, complete with a chip-tune soundtrack. It’s great to see public art meet the maker community with zero pretension and a whole lot of fun! The build started
In this post, we will briefly discuss how a Typewriter-Turned-Plotter: Apologies for the poorly written instructable. I don’t have much time these days and was not thinking of writing one when I was working on the project. A few months ago I made a CD ROM plotter for my daughters. See attached a couple of
The project A polar plotter is a plotter with a rotating, extendable arm. Its characteristics differ greatly from those of a traditional plotter, which in most areas have a superior design. You could say the polar plotter is more portable or something, but mainly I made this one because it was more of a challenge.
