The XY Pen Plotter
A belt-driven vector drawing machine built with off-the-shelf NEMA 17 motors and custom sliced PETG brackets. Engineered for raw, functional plotting art.
Built with Simple Parts
Motion Control
Custom PETG
Vector Output
NEMA 17 stepper motors driving precise GT2 belt paths. High-torque physical movement translated from raw G-code instruction sets.
Structural brackets designed for maximum rigidity. Sliced with thick walls and high infill to eliminate mechanical deflection.
Direct SVG rendering mapped directly to physical coordinates. Real pen-on-paper execution with natural micro-variations captured during late-night runs.
The Build in Focus
High-contrast glimpses of the mechanical assembly, wiring harnesses, and first-layer plots captured late at night on the workbench.
