I just realized such plotters can be useful in many cool applications (eg diy pcb). Where can I get hold of one for cheap?

- C1sc0cat 7y agoWe used to use the top end of the HP plotter range (approx. £12k) when I worked at one of the Big consulting engineers. I recall we used to move them into the aircon computer room so we could run them over night for increased accuracy.
- zaarn 7y agoYou could possibly get a very cheap 3D printer and rig it for 2D plotting fairly easily (using the printer itself to manufacture the missing parts even!)
- JasuM 7y agoMy dad used a 3D printer with a Dremel attached to carve PCBs. The PCBs were those that you normally etch, i.e. they had a full copper coating.
