The drawing machine has been designed especially to draw on standard textile dimension - 1500 mm width by an unlimited length, due to the printer being on wheels. The all printer has been designed with only open source and standard components, therefore can be easily and economically reproduces. It’s disassemblable and lightweight in order to be transportable and allows the user to transfer production outside of the usual production contexts. A wax pen has been developed starting from the hot-end of a 3d printer, that allows to draw with wax on textile reimagining the traditional wax resist technique of batik. All instructions to put together the machine, the pen and use a img converter can be found here: https://github.com/eumorpurgo/TextileDrawingMachine
