Change a 2D plotter to a multi-pen plotter can help a lot. In the last video, some friends asked this question but I can not give a good answer. This time I modify the multi-pen structure a little. Now it is easy to change the color. I tried this color plot now. It works very well. I explained how to modify the multi-pen plotter. Also, I explained how to separate the color from a picture and how to do alignment adjustment using an additional mark. And how to modify the g code file and how to check the printing status using LaserWeb. Now everything for printing a color figure is finished. Next time maybe I will try to make it automatically change the color pen instead now manually.

See you soon. Happy 2D plotting. Have a nice day.

  I like to use a 3D printer to make some new and useful things. I also like to do some detailed systematic testing. At the same time, I will share the results with you, so that you can focus on useful things that interest you. This can take your work to the next level. You can also learn a lot of new knowledge and technique.
  This is not the first attempt, but I think it is a good example of getting new ideas. I hope someone can get some new ideas from the smallest things. In addition, I hope they can share their experience with us and make the world a better place.
