Napravi sam PLOTER
Koliko sam ja shvatio iz teksta ovi ljudi su napravili ploter za sebe i na internetu mogu da se nadju seme za ovakvu spravicu. Jel neko ima iskustva sa ovim, recite mi koliko je moguce i naravno koliko bi kostalo da znam vredi li gubiti vreme sa ovim!

build your own plotter
drawing, cutting and milling
with stepper motors
A plotter is a drawing device
which is typically not affordable for
private use, particularly when
large paper formats are involved.
However if you feel you have suitable
stepper motors and the necessary
mechanical skills, why not
have a go at building a plotter
yourself? The results may more
than adequate.
Long-standing readers of this magazine are sure to remem-
ber our Plotter design described in the May and June 1988
issues. This was followed by a Mark II version (March 1990)

among others, information on Luberth’s own DIY plotter,

If you want to know more about building a really large
plotter, take a look at Dave’s E-Size Plotter at

Dave Rigotti is one of a number of private persons offering
components fr building a plotter, like stepper motors and
driver ICs:

If you do not mind a lot of mechanical work, then lots
of inspiration may be obtained from the websites mentioned
