I really missed out back in the early 2000s when companies were throwing away their old plotters and replacing them with massive inkjet printers. I've since gotten into 3D printing as a hobby, and recently have been playing around with attaching a pen to the printhead. This works quite well, and is more fun than I expected. If you're looking to get into CNC pen drawing, an inexpensive 3D printer might be the way to go, although I can't fit an entire leaf of paper on mine, so need to limit the size of my drawings. I've also experimented with extruding plastic directly onto the paper which surprisingly works without warping, but I haven't come up with any creative use for it yet. As an example of what you can do, here is someone who has gone beyond just attaching a pen like I did, and actually integrating a pen changer to use multiple colors: https://youtu.be/pxt_TbyBImc https://youtu.be/pxt_TbyBImc
