"Ginko"

Eternal leaves from another age.

I love Ginko trees and leaves and experimented with multi-colour and -layered pen-plotter prints.

Drawings done in @sidefxhoudini 16.5 Core - my old trusted license I bought what feels like ages ago.

DM me if you want one :-)

Closeup on the stem of the leaf showing the densely layered, grooved white lines . The white ink is rather thick and so it creates some structure from the pen moving through it several times.

"Square"

Conscious - Subconscious
Ego - Shadow
Outside - Inside
Me - You

And space in between.

· · · · · ·

SideFX Houdini Core using the "Shortest Path" algorithm on variable density grids.

Found a new thin white ballpen that allows me to print this kind of fine, dense design with my Creality Ender 5 Plus based pen plotter.

White tendrils grow towards a square standing on it's tip from the outside as well as from the inside. They branch out towards it so are the most dense at the border and by that, make it visible as an empty space.

"LIFE"

3D-printer-gone-pen-plotter prints, based on the "Shortest Path" algorithm on a variable resolution grid in SideFX Houdini.

The multi-colour ones are printed several times on top of each other with me lifting the pen manually for partial coverage.

Ballpen on cardboard/art paper.

The word "LIFE" is formed by tendrils that come from an outside rounded rectangle and get more dense due to increased branching towards the outline of the text.

"Circle"

Two colour silver and gold ball pen on
graphite 300g/m² photo cardboard.

Drawn two times where the second time I lift the pen away manually every now and then.

The other images are a closeup macro and another version of the same design with black and white India ink.

Available within Europe

"Berlin TV-Tower"

The first drawing from my converted @creality3d Ender 5 Plus 3D printer which now also acts as a pen plotter (see previous post).

Now available for sale - DM me if you are interested.

India ink on 190 g/m² A4 fine art paper.

Plotting time is about 20 minutes with a single colour.

Silhouette of the Berlin TV-Tower printed with an ink-plotter I created from my Creality Ender 5 Plus. From the silhouette, there are lines flowing out in a very organic way that I find hard to describe. Maybe like wind?

Finally! I made my 3D-printer into a drawing-robot!

Adding a pen holder to my @creality3d Ender 5 Plus now allows me to print/plot with a wide variety of pens, inks and papers.

SVG to Inkscape, creating Marlin gcode via "vpype" on the commandline and then to the printer via Klipper on a Raspberry Pi using Fluidd UI
