Introducing the MakerBot® Unicorn Pen Plotter Kit! Your 3D printer can now go 2D.
The next step in the evolution of the MakerBot® CupCake CNC line of accessories, the Unicorn takes your MakerBot® in a whole new direction—illustration and pen plotting. Now you can hold the power of the unicorn's horn in your MakerBot® 3D printer!
Created by our summer engineer Will Langford, the MakerBot® Unicorn Pen Plotter Kit will allow you to impress your friends with the amazing drawings you will create from all kinds of image sources. It has nice tight reproduction quality, and a beautiful and unique drawn character.
You can pick your favorite pens, markers or drawing implements, load your raster or vector art files, and watch your machine draw! It works by holding a pen, marker, swivel blade, or something roughly cylindrical and then uses a hobby servo to lift the implement up and down as your xy stage moves around. Turns out it's also perfect for drawing on sticky notes.
You can make unique stickers, diagrams, UPC or QR codes. Sudoku puzzles, digital photographs, logos… you can even etch!
The MakerBot® Unicorn Pen Plotter can accept pens or tools up to a width of a fat white board marker. That got you thinking? Uh huh! This new toolhead for your MakerBot® that can bring a breathe of fresh air into your 3D printer by transforming it into a machine that can make 2D art and more!
This 299.6 DPI CNC system for your MakerBot® does not include the Generation 3 or Generation 4 Extruder Controller needed for pen plotting. You can either purchase an Extruder Controller v3.6 Fully Assembled or firmware flash an Extruder Controller from a set of Generation 3 electronics already on your bot. Recent Generation 4 Extruder Controller firmware already allows for plotting using the A2 servo ports.
Important note: Requires Gen3 or Gen4 Extruder Board, which is not included. For full documentation click here: http://wiki.makerbot.com/unicorn
