Comment on Show HN: I built an interactive plotter art exhibit for SIGGRAPH

Comments

You lucked out being able to get the plotters. https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2024/bantam-tools/ Evil Mad Scientist has been acquired by bantam-tools so plotters are out of stock for awhile, along with some of the cool additions they made.

Where's the news saying they'll be out of stock for a while? Why do you believe this?

Well, you can't buy them from EMS anymore and the art tools page on Bantam says:

"THE BANTAM TOOLS NEXTDRAW™ WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SPRING 2024."

but it already is spring 2024

I've been following this acquisition closely, as the new machines look great. There are some new homing features, along with upgraded servos. They appear to be in the assembly phase at the moment and are still targeting "spring".

Not in the southern hemisphere !
