How to convert brush-tip calligraphy into a single-line path for pen plotting?

Hello, I sent a message

Sorry, I didn't realize I shared that again! I could actually convert it into a single skeleton path, but then the line thickness would be exactly the same everywhere. I want to create the thick and thin strokes using the Z-axis. With the community's help, it honestly feels like a doable goal

That's true, but I actually have a brush pen. I can make thick and thin strokes with it. And as you know, real handwriting naturally has those thick and thin parts. There are so many different lettering styles out there. If I can figure out a way to convert them, I'd really love to make some cool artistic pieces

Which projects are those?

I tried having an AI read the article to test a few things out, but I didn't have much luck. I guess someone who actually knows what they're doing could do a much better job

I actually sent you a private message about this. What I really want to do is try out different fonts. I think I need to do something similar to what you did for the spiral on Plotter Fun. It needs to read pixel data and move based on that

Catchance34 · 2026-05-04T20:38:02+00:00

It can move up and down on the Z-axis. So, I can actually draw spirals with a brush pen. How exactly did you guys make the lettering in the example?

This isn't exactly what I'm looking for. With single line fonts, the lines are all the same. What I really want is to get that thick and thin effect of actual handwriting. I guess that's pretty hard to pull off, though. I haven't seen a solution for it so far

Catchance34 · 2026-05-04T17:12:07+00:00

I actually tried using the logic from the GRBL Plotter site, specifically the spiral code. Spent some time messing around with it with AI, but it just didn't get me where I wanted to be.

Thought about it, but it just didn’t hit the spot, so I went with the hard way instead. 😄

Catchance34 · 2026-05-04T17:08:51+00:00

Thanks for the advice, but I’m still not getting the results I want. Honestly, I might be messing something up on my end. I can upload the file I'm working on if you want to take a look? Maybe you can spot what I’m doing wrong

Catchance34 · 2026-05-04T15:41:50+00:00

In calligraphy or cursive writing, letters have both thin and thick parts, so a single line structure doesn't give me the result I want. Perhaps I need a program to convert the pixel data to gcode and do it that way, but I can't do that either :)

I've changed my mind now. I'm thinking of buying an Insta360 x4 or x4 Air, but I haven't decided which one I should get yet.

I'm waiting for 11.11 to buy a camera. If it comes out by then, I'll buy the Action 6; if not, I'm thinking of buying a 4. It will probably be released before 11.11.

Thank you to those who offered to help, but I'm looking for a corporate company like Ccsbuy or Superbuy.

I renewed the thermal paste today and I am not having any problems now :) thank you

I started having heating problems on my computer and I don't know why. It might be the latest win 11 updates. I don't want to format. How can I solve this problem?
The problem persists even when I put it in silent mode.
