On the first weekend of May I will be back in Munich at the #VCFe. There I have an exhibition on #AnalogComputing (with a #THAT and a Leybold analog computer, using a modified #Vectrex and an HP XY #plotter as output devices) and I will give a lecture on "Unconventional Computing" (in which the analog computers also play a role).

Holy cow! Two blog posts in one week! https://andywarburton.co.uk/2024/ai-powered-greeting-cards-2d-printed-on-a-prusa-mini-3d-printer/
This is the one where I share my journey converting my Prusa Mini 3d printer into a 2d pen plotter and using it to make custom greetings cards using AI!

#Plotter vs #pantser We’re getting ready for the blowhard, pushy board Helene to show up uninvited at our house tomorrow, and I’ve been feeling a little agitated about it. So today, I wrote an unexpected tornado (yeah, because hurricanes give warning and tornadoes don’t always) into my book. #Plotters, can you do that? No, I didn’t think so…

Today, I think I managed to mostly dial in the various settings for my plotter. Up until now, although the carriage moved fairly cleanly, there was a discrepancy in the dimensions that it was moving when I tried to send it any instructions.
Once I’d figured out the X and Y movement, the next issue was getting the Z axis (an RC servo that moves the pen up and down at the end of the plotter arm) to behave as intended. Initially I was seeing that the pen remained down during moves around the image I was trying to draw, but I realised that I had the Z motion in the wrong place in the GCode file (I’m using
vpype-gcodeto convert from SVG to GCode for my custom machine, here). I wrote my own template machine definition to help do that conversion.Here’s the before and after image where I had the pen up/down in the wrong spot in the GCode template. I love to use Hackaday’s Jolly Wrencher logo as a test bed for these kinds of things! It’s a nice clean and simple set of shapes.
You probably do not understand exactly how happy this has made me right now… just some final #fluidnc tuning and a more accurate vpype-gcode config to create… #penplotter #diy #hackaday #maker #plotter

Getting a clean plot completed was a huge step forward! I used OpenBuildsCONTROL as the GCode sender, as it seems to be one of the only apps I can find that works well communicating with FluidNC over the network. I’ve previously used UGS and CNCjs with my hanging polar plotter, but that currently talks something that resembles GRBL, and runs over USB serial only (another project I want to get around to updating, some time).
After that… I got cocky. I decided to try to draw a grid of these at 10% size (tip: Inkscape can easily generate this kind of thing, using Path Effects – super useful). However, 10% size was waaaay too small (not pictured or recorded, unrecognisable squiggles), so, I went for something a bit larger – although, not much.

This all took around 20 minutes to plot out – not super fast, but having done some reading, I think pushing the stepper motors too much will have a negative effect.
Given that this is supposed to be a grid of 25 identical Jolly Wrenchers… I can see that some more tuning is needed! It is a cheap(ish) self-assembly machine… and I felt pretty good about how I put it together, but I also noticed that the belt probably needs adjusting and I’m sure I can do a better job on the mechanical side of things.
TODO: adjustments as above; build a mounting box for the FluidNC controller; look into improving the
vpype-gcodetemplate; put it all on Hackday and GitHub or Codeberg; considering replacing the SG90 with a nicer servo (extra credit idea, unnecessary).Results!
[side note: I also put the video above onto my Peertube account, but I don’t think I can embed that here at the moment. WordPress / Automattic are moving in the direction of the Fediverse, but apparently I can’t embed from PeerTube yet…]

The dimensional accuracy could do with some work. Belt and bolt tightening to be done! Not sure what happened with the second row up, left side... #plotter #fluidnc #hackaday #diy #penplotter

Are you a #plotter or a #pantser? Does it matter? Is it limiting your writing? In today's #thursday #blog, I weigh in on the "debate" about which side is better and why identifying as one or the other might be restricting how you tell stories. This one could be a bit polarizing, I guess, but I figured I *should* have one plotter/pantser #blogpost before I talk about my own writing methods.

My, oh my... It's almost so that I miss the heated "discussions" on
the bird site.
Everyone is so friendly in here!
Is it me? Am I the drama? I don't think I'm the drama?So for my #introduction then.
A #swedish nerd with equally big a heart as a foul mouth. So my posts will be written in both #english and swedish.
A #parent of three and also live as a humble servant to three #cats. Married to my best friend for ten years.
This is one of my two accounts on here. This one being my personal and somewhat derailed on where I will continue to have the lovely discussions on topics that matter to me.
These are:
- All types of #crafts
like #plotter, #knitting, #fiberarts, #sewing and many others.- #Neurodiversity as a mom of neurodivergent kids and me myself #diagnosed with a#dhd and #autism this subject both fun, educating and interesting to me.
- #Music! I do love just about anything that has to do with music.
- #Food and #culture! i wanna know your ways! Please teach me about your ways.
- #Tech and #IT. All the tech! I work with "this mess" at my day job. #Availability, #education and #statistics are my favorite subjects.
- #Equality and safe spaces for oppressed groups.
- #Gaming. The time is lacking but the ambition is great.
- #Reading. Nowadays mostly #audiobooks but I do read #smutty books with a straight face.Well there are more things to say I'm sure but you get the picture!
Let's be friends!And oh, my other account is a #Cricut account so you can find me here as well!
