For some interesting examples of what can be done with the Formlabs 3D printer, Ben Krasnow has a recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z8uPHL52Q0 htt

  That's really impressive. I'm always amazed at what people are able to do with 3d printers. The other day I read someone used his 3d printer as a plotter, and was working on getting it to write letters.

    With stepper motors on 3 axes, most FDM printers are really overkill for 2D plotting. But it might be tricky to get a nice drawing, the standard slicer software that turns a design into g-code makes all kinds of interesting-looking choices for efficiency's sake. Evil Mad Scientist Labs make a nice robot for painting with watercolors[1], and the patterns the slicer it uses picks are odd to my eye, if sometimes fun.
