January in Mission Beach. 11x8.5 in plot on HP plotter paper using Alvin 0.2mm technical marker. #penplotter #algorist #sandiego

Newest #miniplot. Using Mattehop pen. 50x50mm approximately. #penplotter #algorist

The good news, I got control over the plotter!
The bad news, Inkscape is still pretty derpy when it comes to talking to plotters.
I had this same problem last year on a different version of Inkscape on a different plotter.
I gotta go back to my notes, maybe this was specific to the mac version for some weird reason.

Heroes don’t aspire to be heroic. At the end of his life, Alex Pretti was simply caring for someone in need. He’s one of the best of us. Learn. #heroplot #penplotter #algorist #machinearts #bantamtools

Built a pen plotter control system in Rust over the christmas holidays. My AxiDraw finally stopped gathering dust.
Motion planning, path optimization, single-line fonts. The drift bug where strokes slowly shift after hundreds of commands was satisfying to fix.
Wrote most of it from bed with an iPad; Claude Code helped since I couldn’t compile locally anyway.
