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.

The software side is effectively the same as Beeg Plotter's little sister, Sketchy. A few Klipper macros are used to make using it easier (e.g. changes to z are interpreted as pen up/down).

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.
