Re: CNC Controlled Etcha-sketch


Too bad there aren't any pictures of the output. At least I couldn't
find any.

Re: CNC Controlled Etcha-sketch


I agree. The kid on the weed-whacker "cycle" is kinda funny, too.

Somehow, the search for more info on a robotic etcha-sketch led me to this
"robotic chair" video:

I found here:

Worth a look. Takes a while to download on a slow broadband.

If this is what I think it is, it was a test of Mach3 during the
winter when it was too cold to get into his garage. Or perhaps
a project that was based on the original idea.

I've heard the output was perfect curves and writing.
