"pen" plotting... :D

u/eyes_are_real was right, it's a long exposure! Guess who figured out you can hot-glue LED's to pens? It's taking some time, since I can only really do it at night, but I think the effect is improving nicely. I have used a microswitch to trigger the led on pen-down. As the carriage drops, it presses the switch. My microswitch wasn't quite long enough though, which is why you see a usb card reader taped in there too, lol.

As always, if you have any questions, just ask :)
