You should make the frame out of lego.

I saw the title and thought bullsh1t. i figure the frame was lego, but the guts were from a real plotter. Wow! Great hack!

joe: The frame is indeed made out of Lego.

Great hack!

You could buy a kit to do this that came with software for the BBC micro to do this. I borrowed the kit from a college and made it myself a few years ago. It wasn’t great but it worked.

You could make a pretty cool lampshade with this. There were several homebrew LEGO printers/scanners/copiers done back in the day when Mindstorms 1/1.5 came out. I built a copier in 1998.
