You’re watching ideas turn into motion. This is not a finished product it’s the process. Lines, iterations, small adjustments… again and again. Every part you see here was tested, refined, rebuilt. The MakerKit is the result of that journey. A penplotter you assemble, understand, and make your own. If you’re curious how it comes together scan the code and step inside. #cnc #penplotter #dıy #lineworkart #drawingmachine

After weeks of testing, tweaking, and running beta prints… the DIY MakerKit is officially open on 24th of April. This is the exact system I use to build my pen plotter mechanics now broken down into a format you can actually assemble yourself. Not a polished product. Not a black box. A maker-first kit. What’s inside (V1): – 3D printed structural parts (PLA Carbon Fibre, tuned for durability) – V-slot wheel system + core mechanics – Screws & essential hardware – Assembly logic (step-by-step in Notion) What’s NOT inside: – Electronics – Frame → intentionally. You build, you understand, you own it. Why this exists I didn’t want to sell a machine. I wanted to create an entry point into building one. Something that sits between: YouTube chaos ↔ overpriced plug-and-play machines ⚠️ First batch is limited (10 kits) This is still early-stage. You’re not just buying a kit you’re shaping what comes next. 👉 Full breakdown via Notion: link in story If you’ve ever thought about building your own plotter… this is your door. #penplotter #art #minimalart #cnc

When your SVG breaks your G-code export… 👇 Today I ran into a classic (and pretty frustrating) issue while exporting from DrawingBot: “Cannot invoke Point2D.getX() because point2D is null” At first glance, it looks like a software bug but in reality, it’s almost always an SVG geometry problem. ⚠️ What’s actually happening? One (or more) elements in the SVG: has no valid coordinates is a zero-length / broken path or contains unsupported geometry 👉 Result: the exporter crashes because it can’t read a valid point. 🔍 The fix (that actually works) Instead of hunting the broken element manually, I ran the file through vpype to clean the geometry: vpype read input.svg linemerge linesimplify filter –min-length 0.2mm write output.svg 💡 Why this works: linemerge → rebuilds broken paths linesimplify → removes redundant points filter → deletes tiny / invalid geometry (key step) 🧠 Important takeaway If you work with: generative geometry CAD → SVG exports parametric / plotter workflows 👉 Your SVG is not always “clean”, even if it looks fine. ✅ Pro tip (save yourself hours) Before exporting to G-code: Convert everything to paths (Illustrator / Inkscape) Run a vpype cleanup pass Then export #educational #vpype #coder #lineworkart

I didn’t plan to build a kit. I just kept improving the machine, again and again, trying to make it more stable, more precise, more reliable. Somewhere along the way, it turned into a complete system. This is the final model. Next step: pricing. Then launch. #penplotter #art #lineworkart #cnc

✅This is more than just a Notion page. It’s the structure behind a system I’ve been refining for years. Every part, every step, every mistake… now organized into something buildable. ⚙️MakerKit is getting real. First batch is coming soon. And it won’t be for everyone. DM “MAKERKIT” if you want in early. #penplotter #makerkit #diy #3dprinting

Not just parts. A system. After weeks of redesign, testing, and refining the new components are finally coming together. Every detail you see here exists for a reason: stability, precision, repeatability. This is the result of nearly 2 years of iteration solving problems you don’t have to. Now entering Beta Print phase. The next step: ⚙️ preparing the first Maker Kit The first batch will be very limited (5–10 units) → built to test, refine, and improve with real users If you’ve ever thought about building your own plotter… this is where it starts. 📩 DM me or comment below “MAKERKIT” if you want to be part of the first batch

Don’t blink. Watch it again 👀🔥 3-4 timems 👌. #penplotterart #generativeart #asmr #ascii #lineworkart

New direction. Same obsession. This time I stepped into CMYK layering cyan, magenta, yellow and their intersections into a plot that feels somewhere between signal, structure, and glitch. What I love in this piece is the tension: from a distance it looks almost digital, but up close every line is physical, plotted, imperfect, real. Built line by line, color by color, where precision meets interference. For me, this one feels like a study of translation how code becomes movement, movement becomes ink, and ink becomes something almost alive. Would you hang this color direction on your wall? #lineworkart #penplotter #generativeart

Thanks so much for all the feedback. 🙌 It helped me decide what the first Beta Maker Kit will look like. This project is more than just 3D printed modells, it’s a refined system built through long-term testing and iteration. The first limited kits will include the key structural printed parts, screws, wheels, BOM, and illustrated assembly guide. Planned Launch starts 15.04.2026 First batch will be very limited. 👀 #makerkit #penplotter #buildinpublic #3dprinting #art

Maker Kit is getting real. This image holds a big part of the last months of thinking, redesigning, testing, and refining. Not just random printed parts a full system built to make my pen plotter setup more stable, more precise, and more reliable. Every small element has its role. Every shape was made for a reason. Less vibration. Better control. Cleaner movement. Easier assembly. What started as upgrades for my own machine is slowly turning into something I can finally share with others. And honestly… that feels huge. The goal was never just to make “parts.” The goal was to create a Maker Kit that helps other builders skip some of the frustrating trial-and-error and start from a more solid base. I’m now in the final refinement phase, preparing the first limited kits. The first batch will be small, just 5–10 Maker Kits, so I can collect real feedback and improve it even further with the community. If you’ve been following this journey, thank you. This is one of those moments when an idea starts becoming something tangible. Would you build with this kit? Drop a KIT in the comments or send me a DM if you want to be first when it launches. #makerkit #penplotter #plotterbuild #diymaker #digitalfabrication #generativeart #creativehardware #cnccommunity #makersgonnamake #productdevelopment #buildinpublic #3dprinting #openbuilds #lineworkart

Jean-Pierre Hébert is considered a pioneer in the field of digital art from the mid-1970s on. He has developed his personal computer code into a powerful tool that drives plotters and custom-built devices, pushing the artistic and technical boundaries and creating an original, extensive body of work. Long before modern computer displays allowed one to pre-visualize an idea, Jean-Pierre was imagining and creating amazingly complex pieces, existing only in his mind—and in his code. Hébert produces works on paper, including ink and pencil drawings, etchings and dry points from polymer and copper plates. He also creates sand, water and sound installations, and artist’s books. The aim of his work remains an expression of quiet beauty and peaceful meditation. Jean-Pierre Hébert co-founded the Algorists in 1995 with Roman Verostko. Since 2003, he has been artist-in-residence at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he has organized and curated several Algorist group shows. In 2012, he received the ACM Siggraph Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement in Digital Art. Source: https://www.interaliamag.org/articles/jean-pierre-hebert/
