What it does

Paper plotter creates printable cutouts from your own 3D functions. Change parameters and color options to make it your own.

Paper plotter is a plotting tool that cuts 3D Math functions into a PDF so you can cut it out. Math made easy so you can grasp the functions easier.

This website is a hobby project of mine. I am Felix a 16 year old with a bit too much free time because of covid. If you would like to support this project and help it improve in the future, i would really appreciate it if you would donate Made a cool function? found bugs, have cool ideas, any questions or just want to say something.

  • I made a tiny book using a pen-plotter and AI2025 · muffinman.io · ▲150

    Hey HN, I want to share a personal project: I made a tiny pen-plotted book for my wife. I did everything myself—drawings (with some help from Midjourney), plotting, cutting, and binding. I even used a 3D printer to make a helper tool. It's absolutely over-engineered, but I enjoyed it a lot. Multi-disciplinary projects, especially those with a physical output, are a lot of fun for me. The post covers the process in detail, but if you're interested in anything specific, let me know. Cheers!
