Is a Silhouette Portrait/Cricut a good way to try generative plotter art?
I have been intrigued by generative plotter art for years but never taken the plunge. The two main factors are that XY plotters are pretty bulky, and quite expensive. I’m a software engineer so the actual creating part is good and fun to me
Today I came across vinyl cutters like Silhouette Portrait/Cricut that can take pens, can be picked up super cheap, and are more compact.
Would something like this be a good way to test out if it‘a for me before committing to an XY plotter? or is too limiting?
Not really sure what I’d create exactly but I’m into minimalist stuff with cool line patterns etc to give a vague idea, and I just love the photos I’ve seen of this kind of very digital art but printed with physical media!

First job done on my homemade plotter. Definitely some kinks to work out but I can’t be mad at the result.

Selling UUNA TEK 3.0 / A2 Pen Plotter (Italy)
UUNA TEK 3.0 A2 Pen Plotter – Excellent Condition – Central Italy / Rome Pickup Preferred
PRICE: 1500 euro
I’m selling my UUNA TEK 3.0 A2 pen plotter, which is in excellent condition and works perfectly.
I bought it in april 2025, but I ended up using it very little, no more than approximately 300 hours in total. It has always been kept covered when not in use, so it is very clean and well looked after. There are no faults, issues, or missing parts: the machine runs exactly as it should.
I’m only selling it because I’m shifting my focus towards 3D printing projects, so the plotter is no longer getting the use it deserves.
You can check it up my artistic profile on instagram: profilum_
I’m based in Teramo, in central Italy. I would strongly prefer a handover in Rome, as it would be easier and safer for both sides, but I can also consider shipping.
I still have the original packaging: it is a very sturdy wooden crate, with the plotter secured inside using screws. Shipping should therefore be possible, but I would need to check the courier cost first, depending on the destination.
Feel free to message me if you are interested, would like more photos/videos, or have any questions.

Pen plotter for document writing
My engineering studies requires me to hand write lots of documents so i was just wondering what type of pen plotter you guys would recommend. I was eyeing the writing function of a cricut cutter, do you guys think that's a good idea or no? Any recommendations would be great.

Artframe or Uunatek, please help!
I don’t know which one to buy large size needed. Anyone have any opinions? Good experience or bad with either of these?

Roland DXY-1100
I picked up this boxed Roland DXY-1100 at an auction here in the UK a while back.
The plotter itself looks to be in really good condition but its not turning on. I tested the PSU on a multi meter and the PSU is not working.
First question, any idea where I might source a replacement PSU?
Secondly, if I was to sell it as is what would these things go for these days if sold as spares/repair?
It also came with a load of pens as pictured. From looking around online these seem to be pretty rare also. Any idea what kind of value the pens might have?
Thanks.

Affordable Plotter?
I was looking at the UUNA TEK 3.0, along with a few other plotter options, but I was kind of shocked at the price. Compared to a 3D printer, the plotter seems way more expensive, despite having less components in the BOM.
Am I missing a reasonably priced option for a plotter? Happy to go somewhat DIY or without extensive support, but wouldn't be interested in a ton of soldering work. I'm also open to used options, but can't find any on local marketplaces.
