Ahhh, love this site. I own an axidraw pen plotter, and because I'm feeling generous, I'll print every sketch made by people in this HN thread.

I fear the method I used here will be really inefficient on a pen plotter though: https://turtletoy.net/turtle/63b170ed47

(Lots of useless moves happen while the pen is up)


Theeere you go!

It didn't take too long, the pen up movements were fine


Oh, and here's a hyperlapse of the plot, I started recording about 20 seconds in.

This plot took about 3 minutes in total, the gears one took about 15.


This is so cool!!!!!


How are you translating the sketches into files that work with Axidraw? I have one as well and would love to do the same!


The site has a "download as SVG" button on every render. It's small, in the bottom right corner of the rendered result pane.

It even comes with an option to optimize the paths to minimize pen travel for plotters :)


That's huge! Thanks
