Of course they're only similar in theory, they seem to have nothing in common in practice ... So that was a whole recalibration of z distance etc. They needed much more of a pressure downwards and also a bigger lift. I finally did find a good pressure, and speed, that allowed the ink flow to be continuous and keep up with the drawing. [you'll just have to take my word that I did ballpoint drawings, I only did a timelapse of that process and the ballpoint marks are much to difficult to see.] Update: The paint markers were so satisfying. I want to do more! Luckily, there was no one needing the CNC after my appointment slot so I just kept going and going and going. Adding more layers.

Here's a video of the object interpolating through a range of dates.
