Multi-Color Drawing / Plotting

(…18 months later)

Somehow lost the notifications on this thread, but stumbled across it today while looking for some of my older plotter stuff. The various STLs live in GitHub.

I have a 12-pack magazine for the full size Sharpies that I’m using today and will publish here soon. I’m working on a 10-pack for Crayola Clicks Bold & Bright.

I had the same idea as you guys with the J-Tech Laser mag mount, but haven’t gotten too far with it. I printed up a few samples to test fit a few months ago, but real life took priority and I haven’t looked at them since.

For software, I’m writing my own Python module.

I have a bunch of demos of what pygdk can do on YouTube.

I’m currently working on a video series around 3d printing with the Onefinity itself as I have some large scale art prints I want to play with – basically this but huge and an inch or two deep.

You guys doing any fun plotting? On the software side, my next goal is playing with Ben-Day dots to plot out some comic book / pop art style drawings.

I can’t seem to download any of your F360 files. Any suggestions on how to do it?

23

I just tried one of the links and it looks to open in a viewer only.

This project was an old one, but I will have a look to see if I still have the *.f3d files.
Do you work in F360?

24

Yup, F360 works fine for me.

Try this file…
CNC 65 mm sharpie holder .f3d (128.0 KB)
I have not looked at this in a very long time, so apart from the notes I provided in the discussion above, I am not sure if other tweaking is required.

Let me know if there are issues downloading or opening the file.

Thanks, file works great!

But it is missing the parts that attach to the outside of the mount.
Can you share those as well if you have 'em?

27

Will look, but I found a more recent version of the previous file…
CNC 65 mm sharpie holder modified final .f3d (70.2 KB)
My apologies for that, as well as the way these are designed - I was just learning F360 at the time.

Here is the front mount…

@cilynx

I looked at your github readme file and I have to give you compliments. You wrote a very articulate and thought-out explanation of JSON key-value pairs and how to interpret the resulting gcode. That’s a nice primer with demos to help make concepts clear for other people.

Well done.
