- IgorPartola 6y agoBest of luck and I hope you find a solution. As I mentioned in my other comment, the only part of this I don’t know for sure is how to convert a written page to a path only SVG. I suspect GraphicMagick can do it. If so, your toolchain will be speech to text (pick your favorite one or use e.g. an Amazon Echo and a custom skill), text to HTML (with a stylesheet that sets the correct page size and your custom handwriting font), HTML to PDF using wkhtmltopdf, PDF to path only SVG using GM, SVG to GCode using the script from my link above or another similar tool, and OctoPrint or similar to drive the plotter remotely. You could likely bang this out in a day with a bash script. I am actually curious, how much would you pay for a complete solution like this? Also this is definitely inspiring me to add a pen attachment to my 3D printer and try some plotter stuff.
- Multicomp 6y agoIm probably a cheapskate. Hence me buying the Chinese knock off vs the actual axidraw or similar. But if I can feed a page size in inches with 0.5 inch margins on all sides and have a given PDF or text doc printed, I'd pay 300-450 for a given product if it existed, if only to have this project off my plate. I know if it ever did exist it would be 2k like one of those fancy fully automatic book scanners but I suppose I could dream
