3dplotter

A browser-based web app that turns a home 3D printer into a pen plotter. It offers a library of STL pen holders, a G-code generator (text, images, and SVG converted to paths), Hershey fonts, calibration tools, and a gallery of user designs, so a 3D printer can draw and write without modification.

01 / PRODUCT & PEOPLE

Who does it serve and what problem does it solve?

A web tool bought once for €29.90, set against the $475 dedicated plotter AxiDraw; it cuts a 15-plus-step setup down to 3 steps and has Bambu Lab presets

Target Audience

Makers with 3D printers such as Bambu Lab who want to make pen-drawn and line-art work, plus Etsy sellers who sell pen-drawn pieces and educators

02 / BUSINESS MODEL

How does it charge?

one-time

Web App €29.90 one-time (lifetime use); Creator Bundle €39.90 one-time; Genplot credits €10/50 uses, €25/139 uses, €50/333 uses (requires the Creator Bundle)

The above describes historical pricing. Check official website for current prices.

03 / ACQUISITION

Where do users come from?

Traffic estimate 2026-09: the top channel is direct at 39.7%, organic search is estimated at about 45%, and paid is 0%. There are only 23 keywords; the brand keyword 3dplotter accounts for about 60%, and the non-brand keywords are tool-type long-tail terms such as 'convert 3mf to svg' and 'line art generator for plotter'; the only social source detected is YouTube. The site links to a user design gallery, Discord, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, and in 2026-02 it published three comparison/review blog posts (versus AxiDraw, whether it is worth buying) to claim search positions. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription, so there is no repeat-purchase data from existing users, and the founder did not fill in a channel on Revenue record.

Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.
