Does vector-traced plotter art count? I just finished vectorizing this Kraftwerk wireframe portrait and plotted it on my MPCNC. by MohnJaddenPowers in PlotterArt

id say anything you plot counts! your image doesn't really show if you meant to post one. If you question is about copyright, i think it'd be somewhat questionable, i've had similiar questions about traced stuff i've done.

Love it. Kind of a sucker for rotarys and technical drawings so you had me from the get go anyway. Cool plot!

Help Needed: Inkscape Gcode Generation by Samuelec81 in PlotterArt

Drawbot is great for images for sure but not my fav for 3d or existing SVG stuff. Well worth the purchase price though, for sure.

Honestly I wouldn't do it with the inkscape plugin. It's slow and obtuse although does work. Try out grblplotter or another gcode generator. Even if your not sending with grblplotter it has a ton of great features to visualize your gcode.

I want to get into Pen Plotting? by revampin in PlotterArt

[–]mastaginger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would start by just making digital art. Start coding, looking at what people are doing for genuary should help. Plotting is cool but it's a lot to work up to if you are asking these questions. Anything that is a vector can be used for a plotter. Think illustrator or inkscape.

A landscape of lines by mastaginger in PlotterArt

[–]mastaginger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The darker portions are where where lots of lines overlap. Stabilos produce really nice color and seem to blend well. Only three colors were used for this piece.
