I thought it would be useful to have a simple thread where people can share their current pen plotting setup.

What are you using at the moment?

- Machine
- Pens / markers
- Paper or other material
- Software
- What you usually plot

My current setup is based around a Silhouette Curio 2, mostly using technical pens for architectural linework and SVG-based drawings.

I’m particularly interested in seeing how different people approach the same problem with very different machines — AxiDraw, Silhouette, Cricut, DIY plotters, converted cutters, custom builds, or anything else that can move a pen accurately.

Photos are very welcome too.

So — what are you plotting with?
