Old pen plotter converted to vinyl cutter - Hack A Day
-
Vinyl cutters can be very expensive, so [vinyl hacker] decided to share with us the alternate route some people have
taken. Here is what you need to get started: An old HP pen plotter with a serial connection.
A compatible serial cable.
A blade holder (Roland blade holders don't fit). Some Roland vinyl blades. Cutting software like
SignGo of DAHEDIsign. Vinyl (found in
sign shop dumpsters). The main resource for these plotter/cutters seems to be
luberth.com. It's hard to
navigate, but all of the info you need should be there. Now you can cut stickers, stencils, small signs for very little
money.
