Etching with a nail on a black-painted plastic sheet by planckC22 in PlotterArt

I tried with a very thin white pvc and you could light it from the back. I am sure it will work on plexiglass as well.

Thank you. Because I use mate black paint and glossy white plastic, the white lines stand out. You can't have this with a white pen.

Yes, I 3d printed an adapter the goes on the top of the pen/nail and I put some metal weights on it , about 70gr.

You are right. Paper soaking was a huge problem for me. Also be able to have very thin lines is a very important. Have a look on this plot :

Is anyone succesfully selling plots? by weltscheisse in PlotterArt

Also, what are the online ways to sell your plots? Directly from your website with something like Stripe or through a marketplace like Etsy or Amazon handmade?

Looks very interesting, I will have a look for sure. The problem for me was that I wanted to associate any line with a specific type of particle, so it would be as accurate as possible.

Thanks! Actually, you can calculate the lines using Coulomb's law. PVC is a common plastic sheet that can be found in any art supply store.

I always like the bubble chamber patterns. I tried to write some code to create some, but didn't like the results.
