The front badge was missing so I created and 3D printed a replacement in brown and white. I think it looks the part.
Here, have this Polaroid SX-70 camera cutaway diagram pen plot, as a treat.
Here's a quick video of the HP DraftMaster RX printing an iteration of Schotter by Nees on 36"x48" (ARCH-E) paper. It's fast!!
The video also shows the grit wheel drive pulley section that's visible when the cover is off.
It's huge! 53" wide, 20" deep, and stands 47" tall, and weighs 160lbs!
Here's some people in a fancy office with two of them for scale.
Say hello to my latest #PenPlotter to my fleet. This is a HP DraftMaster RX from 1991, retailed for $9,995. It's huge, can print up to A0/ARCH-E (36"x48"), and can use roll paper.
I've been on the hunt for one of these for many years. I think this is about as good as the HP pen plotter got before they were replaced by inkjet plotters.
Huge thanks to Connor Krukosky for helping me rescue this from the trash!
“… but why use the machine?”
Because a #PenPlotter is cool, ok?
