Pen Plotter attachment for MAX

Post by msimpson »

This a little vid I made of my newly built Rostock MAX machine. This works very well at the highest speeds. If I can just get the machine to pause a certain points I could just drop in different colors.

Very cool. If you are running in Repetier host, you can insert pauses into the gcode to change pens like this:

@pause Change Pen

you gcode window acts like an editor so you can insert a line. You can also save out your gcode after you make the edits.

cheers,
Michael
