In the good old times of mechanics or architecture, designers would draw their blue prints with a pencil and Rotring isograph. Then came the 2D plotters. Then came the laser and jetink printers.
A Rotring isograph is different from laser or jetink printing: it draws a darker line of China ink.
I want to build the intermediate version: a 2D plotter that would still use a Rotring isograph and could be piloted from a PC so I can drw from my PC on large scale papers; say 1.50m x 2.00m.
From a cinematic point of view, it could look like this:

This blog goes step by step through my investigations to build this 2D plotter.
