I did calligraphy with a writing brush called a brush-pencil.
I remodeled Rostockmax with Xnaron Printable Magnetic u-joint.[attachment=2]IMG_2769.JPG[/attachment][attachment=2]IMG_2769.JPG[/attachment]

Awesome! Love how sharp the letters are. Can you do lighter type strokes? I'm just thinking of some of the more gestural traditional Japanese and Chinese brush/ink paintings I've seen.

This is pretty neat. What did you use to generate the "tool" paths?

I don't see evidence of chatter, which is impressive. All the strokes look natural, made by a careful human hand.

I measured the coordinate point of the letter of a famous calligrapher and changed the height direction and tried what I changed the thickness of the letter into, but failed.[attachment=1]IMG_2848.JPG[/attachment][attachment=0]IMG_2795.JPG[/attachment]

The letter which I painted over modeled a letter in 3D-CAD and made a tool in KISSLICER.

If you had a tractor feed for paper, you could produce long scrolls with calligraphy. It would look very nice.

Hmm I'm not sure I would call that a complete failure - it has a gestural quality the others do not. It is worth exploring, I think. If I want perfect letters I can use a laser printer, or high quality inkjet. What the physical brush gives you is the opportunity to explore and make aesthetically pleasing mistakes. This last image made me think of Shinto Calligraphy (it's what popped into my head when I first saw it) - like some of the things here: http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/c ... phy1.shtml

Not that you need to emulate that, but it's nice to see the imperfections. Would the line be exactly the same if you ran the gcode again? In Cura someone has developed a script for varying the temperature of the extruder for laywood filament - to give the impression of wood grain. If you had a similar script for Z height you could give the brush stroke a random variation that might be nice.

I do not have a tractor feed for paper.
I upload the animation.
