Here is my CNC router with a paint pen also zooming along: https://www.instagram.com/p/CMT56JwA9sA/?igshid=15p9mru3f5ug...

if you want to get into this, the way to go is the Axidraw from Evil Mad Scientist Labs

I was going to get an axidraw but on a whim I checked locally and scored a HP7475a for $60 and got it working.

So definitely worth looking around a bit before going with new!

I stopped browsing IG content completely because of this completely artificial restriction.

I love people that post to #plottertwitter and similar content, so pretty-please, don't post on IG or platforms that do this if your aim is to SHARE.

I don't have an account there, not planning to make one or to use an app to get it.
