FWIW, every 3D printer is also a pen plotter (just stick a pen to your print head!).
Here's my old faithful Printrbot plotting a dragon curve:

- aallen90 7y agoThat's awesome! What print speed did you use? (your steppers sounded like it was very high) And do you slice 1st layer normally?
- romwell 7y agoThanks! I didn't use a slicer, went straight into G-code for that one (wrote a program that generates the G-code for the dragon curve: a sequence of G0 commands). Don't remember what the feedrate was; with the pen attached tight, I could go pretty fast.
