Hey there, amazing work as usual. How can I generate the vector for the drawings? And also how do you generate the vector for the generative portrait arts?
Thank you. The waves I made with my own algorithm and the generative portraits with a free online tool. I don’t exactly remember the website but I replied with the link to a comment in the review video of the iDraw A1. Please have a look there.
Thank you for the great reviews! I'm thinking of buying iDraw A1, but I worry about accuracy. In your video the horizontal glitches reveal during the drawing, do you have an idea why do they appear? Is axidraw a1 more accurate?
The glitches come from the paper. Its plotter paper and I think also the pens had some issues because I ran it at full speed. Otherwise I don’t have any problems with the iDraw a1.
@degerli12 I understand. The sound can be disturbing, especially if you have neighbors. Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do. All CNC machines sound that way. You could perhaps build a sound proof box for your pen plotter but then you won’t be able to see the drawing.
@degerli12 no, the machine will be fine, it’s quite robust. In fact, when I run my machines for hours, the stepper motors are slightly warmer than room temperature. You can check yourself and touch the stepper motors during and after using it.

Just too cool. It looks textured!
Thank you! The texture is indeed nice but I wish the pens would have a little more ink - I’ll redo the drawing.
@@thedotisblack You would need a pen the size of coke can to hold enough ink. Don't think that'll work.

@@thedotisblack Thank you so much

How long did that take
I think I mentioned it in the video, about 3.5 hours. I did as fast as possible, hence the nice granular strokes that emerge on the paper.
@@thedotisblack sorry I didn’t have my sound on
I'm having some noise problems. What can we do to reduce the sound?
Like what kind of noise? The typical stepper motor and pen sound?
@@thedotisblack Yes. I'm looking for a way to reduce the sound since I have to operate it in the same room as the one I live in.

@@thedotisblack thank you.I thought about this too. Do you think this will cause the device to overheat?
@degerli12 no, the machine will be fine, it’s quite robust. In fact, when I run my machines for hours, the stepper motors are slightly warmer than room temperature. You can check yourself and touch the stepper motors during and after using it.
