The original circular HP pen plotter organizer boxes have foam dividers for the pens. Now the foam is turning to goo. I created a new insert to replace the foam and hold 40 pen plotter pens. Should fit the short or tall circular pen box.

I've been trying to get this style of plotter image to work since before 2012: representing brightness with isolines of a function with higher gradients where the image should be darker so the lines are closer
After getting something close but not very good a couple of months ago in the last two days I saw a post on Reddit with a new technique to try (fast marching method) and yesterday I got a process working in Python. Over 13 years and it finally took a day
Maps look surprisingly good in silver! h/t to @doersino for his osm2svg tool https://ghpages.noahdoersing.com/osm2svg4art/ and thanks to Dirt Alley Design for organizing the plot party on Instagram.
Trying to do my first-ever #PlotParty ! Today's theme is SILVER, and my piece is partway there, but there's some new workflow stuff I'm figuring out.
So, here are a couple of my previous silver plots to start with :D

Hallo #PenPlotter community. I'm aiming to scratch together, out of junk & spares if necessary, an affordable A3 or larger XY pen plotter, that I can feed jobs to from my imagination.
Not scared of electronics or code, just don't want to reinvent too many wheels where avoidable.
While I read all I can about this format of drawing robot, any recommendations to get started would be very welcome.

I'm looking to pick up a HP Draftmaster II, RX, MX, RX+, or MX+ pen plotter. Do you have one or know someone that does and wants to part with it? I'm in the US Mid-Atlantic region.
Thanks for a boost!
Today I’m starting a big plot on the @bantamtools ArtFrame Panorama, a monster of a plotter with a 24” x 72” plot area. Excited to see a plot that is as tall as I am!
I’ll be here at the Bantam Tools Machine Arts Gallery in Peekskill NY today. Stop by if you’re in the area.
@geoffl @joshmillard Hey, I converted your BBC BASIC program to plotter commands. Then I plotted it with metallic inks. It looks pretty good
When viewed close up, it’s an abstract series of modulated horizontal lines with hatch marks in them. From a distance, the line work collapses into a recognizable portrait (at least for me).
I’ve long admired the old ALDUS logo from the early PageMaker days on the Mac. I’ve used that style to create a #PenPlotter rainbow portrait of Alan Turing for pride month.

Planning on buying a Roland Drafting plotter GRX-400AG.
Any experience with this machine? What software to use? Probably just a a serial interface... #penplotter

Gel pens and white gesso on 5"x7" paper
Recent attempt at scaling up a smaller print to 18"x24". Not too excited with it but it has some nice moments.

All of it. I'm tired.
