A video of my new (well, very old) Roland DXY-1150 Pen Plotter. I'll be diving in to the Chiplotle.org python library which facilitates modern connectivity with these plotters, but in the meantime, here's a quick overview and demonstration.

  • Does it print (or plot) to scale? Can you use the print job as a template? This could save loads of layout time. Looks cool.

  • Yup - sure does! I agree - may help immensely for layout.

  • I forgot how wonderful it was to watch a plotter work!

  • I agree - it is mesmerizing!

  • Can it use a knife for cutting out stencils and how difficult is it to get more pens and ink refills?

  • I think the deskjet style printers (eg watch?v=RyJHGQ3FNrA) are better for stencil cutting because they have more strength/rigidity - especially when cutting something like vinyl. Pens are available on eBay - some are good deals, some are overpriced/expensive...

  • Nice.

  • Great looking setup!
