Iknow this is rather common with non-laser CNC's but say i wanted to add this functionality to my trotec. Seems pretty simple, right? just strap a writing utensil on the gantry and send your file with 0% power. Of course you dont have pen up and pen down abilities but i've often wondered what it would look like if my complex vector jobs were one continuous line instead of jumping from shape to shape.
So, has anyone done this? I can think of a few things that could go wrong or reasons to not try but nothing i can't work around. Unlike most laser owners, I bought my trotec speedy 360 with the sole intention of producing art. I'm finding it to be useful in more ways than imagined for art making, but adding the pen-plotting would be even sweeter. Please post any tips, experience or info on the subject and i'd greatly appreciate it!!
