Elastico Pen Holder

thingiverse

I've Created an Elastico Pen Holder for My Prusa I3 3D Printer's Aluminium Carriage Only. Here's a model I designed to accommodate a pen with an elastic shock absorber, allowing the pressure on the pen to be consistently soft. To fit a tratto pen like in the photos and videos, I used scotch tape but I'm planning to use a permanent pen for PCB printing. My setup involves Repetier Host along with slic3r; when printing as a plotter, I've found it best to select the corresponding setting on my printer. I tried out multiple solutions before eventually finding that using a 3D STL model allowed me to efficiently manage my printer's operations within Repetier Host. After dealing with some downloaded programs that even included malware (ugh!), this workaround turned out to be ideal for achieving my end goal: creating a printed circuit board.
