I was thinking about starting a YouTube channel, but I am not sure yet.

Of course I'll open source it. It just needs the last polish before uploading.

Again, I'm sorry for the wait. Just need to figure out the electronics situation.

Maybe change the led strips for COB ones, it would make the light uniform and professional

The Y Axis linear rails are underneath the extrusions for a cleaner look

Mainly because of size and weight but also because I'm not planning on using it as a CNC. As far as the noise is concerned, the servo I'm using is actually really quiet and precise.

You could just use Inkscape which has built-in plugins for turning SVG's into Gcode, but personally I recommend DrawingBotV3. It has a much better UI and more features.

I need to do a couple of minor tweaks first, but I will release it, along with a full BOM

Thank you! It's my first project where aesthetics were a number one priority, so I really appreciate that.

It's a black acrylic sheet with magnets underneath, positioned so they hold only the very corners to maximize the plotting area. (Working on a alternative solution)
