- blacksmith_tb 8y agoWith 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.
