Ender 3 Universal Pen Adapter (plotter)

cults3d

This model is designed to be mounted on the ender 3 hot end carriage with the screws that hold the hot end cover. Then you can use your printer as a plotter with a pen (I used a 4 colours bic pen) or a marker. I also used a small clip to reduce vibration HOW TO USE IT: .1. You have to adjust your z offset, there are many ways, you can delete G28 (or G1 Z0) from your starting G-code and then put your z-axis at the right height, or you can print with a big first layer height and adjust the pen so it touch the bed. 2. In the slicer put the stl you want to draw under the bed so it will be only one layer high. 3. Set the hot end temperature at 0, in this way the extruder won't push material (it's a safety measure of marlin, if you aren't sure to have it just remove the filament) 4. set a big z-hop, so you wouldn't get unwanted lines 5. PRINT (note that there is a x-offset, if you want to correct it you have to measure how much it is) If you made it please post a make and share all your beautiful drawing.
