Add a simple drag knife attachment for testing your G-code or use as a pen holder on this versatile platform. Download the add-on from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:724999 and follow my lead with an easy-to-use design that includes all the essential details. I'm a fan of Liyu-style knife holders, and you can easily find one on eBay for $7 to $15. The Liyu pen holder is also available at a similar price range of $5 to $10. This versatile clamp measures 11.5mm and offers flexibility with its adjustable grip.

To achieve precise prints with sharp corners, make sure your designs include at least 0.2mm rounded corners. Building on Mike G's suggestion (thanks, Mike!), I've incorporated a tool holder into the standard tool mount design, ensuring easy integration for those who have it mounted low enough.
