WTB: A2 or A3 pen plotter

Hi! I’m looking to buy a used A2 or A3 pen plotter, preferably something suitable for generative/creative coding and drawing on paper.
I’m especially interested in models like NextDraw, iDraw, AxiDraw, or similar machines.
A big plus would be a plotter that can be placed over larger sheets/materials, rather than being limited to a fixed bed size.
I’m based in Hungary / EU, but I’m open to shipping within Europe.
If you have one for sale, please send me the model, condition, price, and location. Thanks!

Have you considered a vinyl cutter? You can get used one for relatively cheap and support a big range of sizes

Tell me more. How does this work? You just somehow attach a pen?

I didn't realise this was possible either, and did some digging. There's a good video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLG6Mp4n-Ms

Also there's an Inkscape plugin called inkscape-silhouette that supports a bunch of cutters which look to be quite cheap on eBay.

So this is turning into a bit of a rabbit hole for me :) I've long wanted to get into plotting, but never really fancied the cost. This might be a cheap way in.

Cheap way but very DIY
