# Beeg Plotter Beeg Plotter is an (approximately) 1500x1500mm wall-mounted plotter, running Klipper. It uses a core-xy construction (two motors to control the movement) and a servo to control pen up/down on the toolhead. {{ :undefined:beeg-plotter-1.jpeg?direct&400|}} The software side is effectively the same as Beeg Plotter's little sister, [Sketchy](projects:plotter). A few Klipper macros are used to make using it easier (e.g. changes to z are interpreted as pen up/down). # Drawing with Beeg Plotter You can connect to Beeg Plotter at http://beeg.local on the hackerspace network. ## Generating gcode Beeg Plotter requires gcode instructions to draw, which likely will be generated from an svg. There are a couple of ways to generate gcode for Beeg: - Inkscape with [gcodeplot-klipper](https://github.com/averymcnab/gcodeplot-klipper) - good for simple plots with thin lines - see below for example settings - PrusaSlicer - recommended for plots with any infill/width - has a measly 1200x1200mm bed size limit --- # Appendix ## GCodePlot (Inkscape plugin) example settings These settings are a recommendation or starting point - you should at the very least double check the co-ordinate settings which should align with your drawing surface. {{:projects:screenshot_2025-12-17_at_19.07.46.png?nolink&600|}} {{:projects:screenshot_2025-12-17_at_19.07.48.png?nolink&600|}} {{:projects:screenshot_2025-12-17_at_19.07.50.png?nolink&600|}} {{:projects:screenshot_2025-12-17_at_19.07.51.png?nolink&600|}}
