@paulxthompson I remember: at the time the AxiDraw looked really good. <https://www.axidraw.com/>. I'll ask for an update from my plotter-using friend.

I was considering a mod to my 3d printer to repurpose it as a plotter.

@paulxthompson on Fedi, #plotterart seems to be the tag to watch. Nothing much on my instance but e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/plotterart has some interesting things

@paulxthompson I've been pointed at some suspiciously cheap things on Ali Express https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005005763451182.html

@paulxthompson Plotter-friend replied. AxiDraw creators moved to NYC, and the Bantam Tools ones are the same people with more resources behind them, and the Bantam ones are improvements. He said, A4 is a bit too small (!)

@paulxthompson ooh they have their own zine (ish) https://bantamtools.com/products/machine-arts-magazine-no-1
