You can’t post this and not show the finished product.

Yes, that was infuriating

Man I was really hoping this was a perfect loop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I cannot stop coming back to this. I think I'm learning how to make a perfect loop out of this tonight. I totally think it could be done with the first two passes.

That can’t be human right?

Must be a robotic arm

Gotta be a 2 axis gantry. I mean, it could be a standard 6 axis robot arm, but I seriously doubt it.

Definitely not by hand. There used to be things called pen plotters before printers and 3D printers that everyone seems to be unaware of. An X, Y stage with a pen attached. Replace with a brush. But since those are so rare these days it’s likely a repurposed cnc router rather than a repurposed 3D printer so can fit larger canvas

I was thinking the exact same thing. Absolutely has to be a robot.

Probably a 3d printer with the nozzle replaced with a paintbrush could do the job. Maybe a tube through the center of the handle to supply paint.

CNC could do it.

I never had a brush like this; evenly spread with unlimited paint. 😐

Must be fed with an internal tube, it's like a 3d printer

Perfect thing to watch while sitting on the toilet

Can confirm.
