Catching up on some #penplotter-related news from the last few weeks.
#vsvg releases 0.3.0 and 0.4.0, which introduce #msvg (the fastest way to eyeball a collection of SVGs) and bring a host of improvements to #whiskers:
➡️https://github.com/abey79/vsvg/releases/tag/v0.3.0
➡️https://github.com/abey79/vsvg/releases/tag/v0.4.0#vpype release 1.14, which mainly bring Python 3.12 compatibility and a few improvements.

#vsketch 1.1, which brings Python 3.12 compatibility and syncs with vpype 1.14

I managed to turn my 3D printer into a 2D printer. Let's see what I can come up with from here... #vsketch #vpype #gcode #penplotter

Experimented with #vsketch and #penplotting with multiple colors and fill. There is still some work to do. A couple of things I noticed:
1) paper stretches slightly due to the moisture of the ink and that leads to misalignment of the lines
2) position of the easel needs to be 100% fixed
3) finding the exact same position for the pen after changing is a challenge
4) it's seems that pens with flexible tips are not reliable when it comes to position; the tip might bend a bit in any direction -
My #ptpx postcard are finally completed!
They are a tribute to Susan Kare's iconic work on the early #Macintosh.
The symbols below are the icon's "checksum", expressed in Kare's Cairo #font (as remastered by Haley Fiege).
On the backside, I used Idrees Hassan's Monocraft font. It's a #Mincraft-inspired, bitmap-emulating, vector font, which I convert to proper bitmap and back to #penplotter vectors! 🤯
Made in #Python with #vsketch, Pillow and #vpype-pixelart.
Thanks @paulgb for organising!

#introduction I'm a multi-disciplinary engineer and entrepreneur.
My interests span robots, software dev (especially #Python), and #GenerativeArt.
It comes as no surprise, then, that my main projects revolve around #PenPlotter:
- #vpype is the Swiss-army knife CLI for plotter vector graphics (https://github.com/abey79/vpype)
- #vsketch is like Processing, but for plotters (https://github.com/abey79/vsketch)Earlier, I got a PhD in flying robotics, and co-founded senseFly, a professional mapping drone company.
