Converting a Prusa I3 3D Printer into a Plotter is a relatively straightforward process that requires some basic mechanical skills and a few modifications. The first step is to remove any unnecessary components from the printer, such as the hotend and heating bed. This will help reduce weight and make it easier to move around. Next, attach a pen holder to the print head using M3 screws or adhesive putty. You can also use an existing extruder if you have one on hand. Now, rewire the printer's control board to support plotting functionality. This may involve adding new drivers for the pen motor and modifying the firmware to accommodate the changes. Finally, calibrate the plotter by adjusting the pen tension and ensuring that it moves smoothly across the paper. With these modifications complete, you'll be ready to start creating unique artwork using your converted Prusa I3 3D Printer.
