Illustration
Welcome to my page where I document the progress we're making at the elective called Mimicking Machines. At this elective we're looking at different kind of printers and plotters. In the first lessons we made a plotter using 3d printed parts, electric motors, belts and a control panel called Arduino. Making the plotter I learned a lot about the mechanics and how the plotter works.
First I made a vector illustration in illustrator and imported the file into Inkscape to make a G-code of it. This G-code can be used in the software called Universal G-code sender. In this software you can control the
I’ve been experimenting with different kind of materials such as a pentel brush and a posca marker. I tried to get different result with the same code. With the brush I tried to get different thicknesses in the line it made. Still this was very hard because I had to edit the code the program made for me. A lot of times the plotter just stopped because of an error. But after a reset it did its job well.
I'm planning to use this machine more often in the future. You can do a lot of cool stuff with it!
