This YouTube video shows a felt tip pen plotter made from Lego. "Horseattack" wired the electronics to control the motions, and wrote the Mac OS X printer driver.
Although a pen is used, this is not a vector plotter. The action is like that of a raster printer, where the print head goes back and forth as the paper slowly moves through. The pen is raised and lowered to create gaps and to draw.
