Teaching robots to make art

 Hax, but actually tho

Moved on to the actual rigging up of a Prusa Mini as a pen plotter! Pretty straightforward as far as the art and the programming, but I found the physical hax a lot more interesting in terms of physically setting things up and iterative problems solving. Heavier marker had no built-in spring tension and along with the heavier paper not being fully secured with the smaller magnets necessated some problem solving with heavier magnetsnad eventually actual clips - I quite like the imperfect record of that on the page - any worthwhile ambitious art is as much problem stubborn problem solving as it is any perfect final project - and I find the problem solving to be the most satisfying process of all anyway.
