Pen Holder for the Original Prusa i3 Mk3

thingiverse

Simple pen that I have designed converts your Prusa Mk3 into a plotter, making drawing and engraving effortless. Mounting the device is straightforward, requiring only a few minutes to remove the cooling duct and screw in the pen mount using the same screw. The two-part mount is held together with four M3x10 or longer screws and four M3 nuts, providing stability and precision. The pen slot measures 10mm in diameter, but for thinner pens, you can easily increase thickness by wrapping duct tape around them. To optimize performance, note that the pen offsets are X=71mm and Y=43mm. For hassle-free operation, it's recommended to leave the homing zone uncovered to prevent auto-homing issues.
