Congratulations on your wedding!

[@Harko-]

Congratulations on your wedding! 🎉 Plus, that’s a cool machine. When I started my career in engineering, large format pen plotters were still a thing 😀

[@spikewalker]

Congratulations!!!

[@KadeStringer2.0]

Congratulations

[@ericskiff4272]

"And were were in an 'injury exclusionary' period before the wedding" Lol, Becky I love you, that line and the concept are just perfect :) Congrats again!

[@xelaander8429]

Congratulations!!! Missed seeing you post as frequently as before

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you! I had three knee surgeries and a wedding this year, working on getting back to a more regular publish schedule...

[@xelaander8429]

@BeckyStern Wow, glad you're okay, take your time please, no need to rush. Enjoy married life

[@elmestguzman3038]

Congratulations on your wedding!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@LeonardChurch33]

That's so cool. Congrats Becky!

[@Estefannie]

This is such a cool project!!

[@ed.puckett]

Very happy news! I'm wishing you both a wonderful life together.

[@automaticprojects]

Congrats on your wedding, Becky! Very happy for you and glad to see so many Make veterans!

[@norm1124]

All the best for the wedding ❤️🙏

[@maddsmish]

Aww congrats, being married is awesome

[@JosephDavies]

Beautiful cards!
Also, Congratulations!

[@crogger1974]

Beautiful place cards and congratulations on your wedding!

[@zentouro]

such a fun project and neat tool!

[@onebeartoe]

Thanks for sharing the project! Congrats, Becky!

[@OnnieKoski]

This is awesome! My spouse has mobility issues and this might help out with some pen palling

[@thomashverring9484]

Aaaand you're very close to 100K subscribers!
I didn't know I needed a plotter (maybe I don't), but I feel like I might!

[@jmg999]

This was a really interesting project. Congratulations on your wedding! I hope that you experience many years of happiness, health, and prosperity.

[@MinecraftMaker]

This is super cool! Lucky wedding guests. (And congratulations on your wedding)

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you! They were a lot of fun to make.

[@RyanMercer]

Neat.

[@gumbyno5808]

Congrats Becky!

[@fredrikbergquist5734]

Congrats! Maybe there will be another Einstein? 😊 I built a drawing machine with parts from a scrapped 3Dprinter and it is great fun! My new project is to convert a manual knitting machine so it can be controlled by a computer. Do you know if anyone has done that?

[@deanallenjones]

Congratulations. The wedding looks awesome. And a great use of the tech. My wife is a graphic designer and got a Cricut just to make the invites for a friend, but I think i would find this gadget more useful in my work :)

[@AndyCallaway]

Cool project.
Oh, and congratulations. 😃

[@rob.mcccarrick]

Congratulations!

[@KidsInventStuff]

Love this Becky!

[@collie147]

Congrats!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Cool tool and software. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@WoLpH]

Congratulations on the wedding! That explains why you've been less active recently. Take your time and enjoy yourself Becky! I loved the video :)
The funny thing (to me) is that there's a good chance that this took more time to set up and arrange than actually writing all of the cards.... something I definitely would have done. xkcd 1319 is definitely a thing ;)

[@BeckyStern]

In addition to the wedding, I also had three knee surgeries this summer. And although time wise you're probably right, my handwriting is terrible so the output is much nicer and more consistent than I could do by hand.

[@davefalkenburg3276]

Congrats- we had our wedding invitations “handwritten” on a pen plotter back in the 1990s- who knew we were so ahead of the game (or maybe we were the leading edge?)

[@dalewheat]

Congratulations, Becky! Love the plotter idea for the table cards. Why spend hours doing a tedious, repetitive task when you can spend days automating it? :D

[@reforzar]

Sweet! Looks like your knees are doing good!🎉

[@BeckyStern]

Yeah! They were a 2/10 and now they are a 5/10. Still have a lot of strengthening to do but I'm on my way and in much less pain. Don't watch me squat to pick something up or use the stairs tho 😆

[@stephcastle26]

My carpel tunnel would love this machine

[@JessicaCrafternoon]

1:44 yooooooooooo
