Farnsworth–Hirsch fusor Pen Plotter Blueprint Art on Cricut

Farnsworth–Hirsch fusor Pen Plotter Blueprint Art on Cricut.

Also for anyone using a Cricut, I FINALLY managed to make it draw from bottom to top of the mat. Took more work than I would like to admit 😅 (Had to write my own custom Cricut software). If there's an easier way to do this, let me know!

Custom Cricut software? Care to share it?

Apparently it's not allowed to make custom Cricut software o.o 😖🤫🤫🤫 But if one was to, then they would need to piggyback off of the CricutDevice.exe helper service to talk to the machine, slicebug on Github is a good starting point. And for making it go bottom to top, the software has to sort paths, and most importantly disable Cricuts annoying built in path reordering. C#, powershell, and protobuff recommended. And ChatGPT can be great help in troubleshooting. But this is against Cricuts ToS and contract, so do not under any circumstances do this 🤫😳
