Beeg Plotter is an (approximately) 1500x1500mm wall-mounted plotter, running Klipper.

It uses a coreXY 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).

You can connect to Beeg Plotter at http://beeg.local on the hackerspace network. Please make sure it never left unattended while running!

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
  • 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

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.

Config changes will cause an auto backup to the beeg config repo so if it breaks or gets wiped, you should restore it from there. If you do make big changes, please announce it on the discord.
