Thanks! :)
I don't have any pictures, but they basically look like someone with an amazing handwriting did the invitations.
I started writing the text in inkscape using a "cursive handwriting font" and then converted the text outline to a single vector patch that I converted to gcode, there is a plugin for inkscape that will make it into a gcode description that "lifts" the pen at the right times.
Then I 3D printed a pen holder to attach to the printhead of my 3d printer, and used some rubberbands to hold a pen to it.
Here's a video of the printer in action, drawing a picture I made in inkscape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvS1PObU8PI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvS1PObU8PI
- worldmerge 5y agoThat's cool! I've been looking into pen plotters to make some art prints but can't justify the cost of it. A 3d printer though sounds great. Can already think of some projects to use one for. The text looks crisp!
