Show HN: I made a tiny book using a pen-plotter and AI

150 点作者 stankot3 个月前
Hey HN,<p>I want to share a personal project: I made a tiny pen-plotted book for my wife. I did everything myself—drawings (with some help from Midjourney), plotting, cutting, and binding. I even used a 3D printer to make a helper tool.<p>It&#x27;s absolutely over-engineered, but I enjoyed it a lot. Multi-disciplinary projects, especially those with a physical output, are a lot of fun for me.<p>The post covers the process in detail, but if you&#x27;re interested in anything specific, let me know.<p>Cheers!

Great work! Recraft V3 does very good vector images. I wonder if you could use the SVG the model outputs directly in the plotter. Would save you a lot of time.

Loved this.<p><i>Love to build. Build to love.</i><p>Reminded me of Wordle and a few more projects like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.robinsloan.com&#x2F;notes&#x2F;home-cooked-app&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.robinsloan.com&#x2F;notes&#x2F;home-cooked-app&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s always wonderful to see projects we build for love. Haha. Cheers OP.

Looks like a fun project. I would love to get into pen plotting someday.<p>Have to say the text bothers and intrigues me… digital fonts that try to look like handwriting are already in the uncanny valley, and then you loop it back into physical media with a pen plotter. It could almost be an art project in its own right, exploring layers of going back and forth between physical and digital media to produce a seemingly mundane paper with some writing on it.

Curious to know what pen plotter was used here… didn’t look like article mentioned it.<p>I’m a big fan of Dan Catt and his work with generative art and pen plotting.

Lovely project! A little trick against the smudging with some paper is to apply a thin layer of hairspray to the page after plotting&#x2F;printing and then letting it dry for a bit. We do this for riso prints at our universities printshop. Should work just the same with pen plots.

Excellent project, congrats!<p>About the cleaning up phase: the author cleaned up the bitmaps before the vectorizing stage, and that included separating lines.<p>In my experience it&#x27;s a little bit easier to clean the vectorized results by removing unwanted points, because those are easier to see than line connections that may or may not pose a problem later. (But to each their own.)

Love it - I wonder if you could create a animation book this way cheaply, see a moving image as you flip through it
