This is an axidraw v3 pen plotter. Lippe designed and built a bracket system to make it hang vertically, with adjustable captured bolts to help with angles.

Workflow

  1. Move the plotter to the top left corner or you will burn out the motors

  2. Place a sharpie in the holder making sure the bottom bracket is grabbing the gray part of the sharpie

  3. Go to http://plotter.local:9080

  4. Find/make an svg you want to plot

  5. Drag that svg on the page, check the layers are ok, and plot!

It can be useful to create test sheets for both pens and papers, to see how geometry renders. Some samples of a sort of "contact sheet" to help in previsualizing designs: https://arnaudpfeffer.com/Contact-Sheet
