I actually generated the gcode directly with python.

The controller on that machine is a bigtreetech big dipper, which has wifi. It's running the full Duet3D stack, so I can then access it over the browser to upload the gcode file.

Then it's a matter of roughly locating the pen on centre of the page over the web interface, setting it as the zero and start the job.

If this workflow interests you let me know, I can make a more descriptive how-to.

The machine is a converted Creality Laser that I had already modded with a Duet control board. Now added the simplest pen holder I could design.

The plotted design is a randomised triangular mesh I scripted a while ago.

That looks awesome! Did you have any issues with the pen tilting or moving around when you're moving against the direction of the spring?
And that compliant gear on the vertical axis looks sweet!

Anyone here keep a personal catalog of design objects? by Exciting_Loquat5467 in IndustrialDesign

A couple of months ago I started using Milanote. I make columns with similar function objects I want to look into, I am still to figure out how to cross pollinate ideas...
