Resurrecting an Old Plotter (2019) | Feb 2022

auto-upvote for anything plotter-related... they're so much fun.

be sure to check out #plottertwitter on the twitter tubes (oops, totally missed that this was called out in the very first sentence), and i've also been collecting useful plotter-related links here:

(one last edit / promo: if you get the nostalgia fuzzies for plotters, be sure to check out the "Manuals and Ephemera" section of the above repo, where i've linked up a bunch of plotter-related manuals and brochures and advertisements from the internet archive)

+1 for the AxiDraw. The author does link to this page: https://github.com/beardicus/awesome-plotters which has some good AxiDraw resources.

I became much happier with my setup when I switched to running the AxiDraw from a Raspberry Pi using Saxi: https://github.com/nornagon/saxi

Ask HN: Why are there no open source 2d printers? | Oct 2020

i think the 2D equivalent to a 3D printer is not a regular printer, but a plotter. and there's a fairly robust community around hacking pen plotters. for eg, https://github.com/beardicus/awesome-plotters

Show HN: Creating Land-Use Maps with an HP 7475A Plotter | Sep 2018

Great writeup! Much of my plotting experience is a similar journey of hooking a bunch of rando utilities and file formats together with python. Plotters are really fun and can motivate some really interesting generative artwork.

Be sure to check out the #plottertwitter hashtag for inspiration, and I've aggregated some resources in an `awesome-plotters` repo as well: https://github.com/beardicus/awesome-plotters
