Neon lights city - not on paper.

Inspired to come back to light-painting, this time with my pen plotter, by the #nopaper prompt for day 2 of @penplotart's #plotparty.

Time: 1 minute × 30 frames

Code originally written for #genuary2023. Manually triggered the camera and then the plotter thirty times to create the timelapse video. Now planning to modify the #marlin firmware and make an adapter cable to trigger the camera from gcode and draw all frames from one long file, which means I can leave it alone for a few hours and come back to a longer timelapse in the morning.

I think I forgot to turn on the vpype-occult plugin to remove occluded lines, but I do quite like this somewhat inconsistent semi-wireframe look it's created...
