Snapmaker springy pen plotter

thingiverse

Here's my remix of "Springy pen holder" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1926664. I made it compatible with the Snapmaker and added quick screw heads for Snapmaker CNC screws to quickly attach and adjust the tightness of the pen holder. The springiness of the mount prevents pens from breaking and keeps even pressure when drawing. It can hold up to 15mm in diameter pens or pencils. I printed it in PLA+ (eSun) and it has a stiff but springy feel, perfect for not breaking the pen or putting unnecessary strain on the Snapmaker. I simply imported an SVG file into Snapmakerjs CNC g-code generator (2.4.3), changed the parameters to: Carv path: On the path Target depth: 1mm Step down: 1mm Jog height: 3mm Stop height: 10mm Jog speed: 4800 mm/min Work speed: 2400 mm/min Plunge speed: 600 mm/min Then I exported to a g-code file and removed M3 and M5 commands so the CNC spindle wouldn't start. I loaded it, found work origin, and then pressed play. This way you can easily plot SVG files with the CNC module attached. Recommended items needed: Tejp for holding paper down (clips for textile or magnets if you have a metal plate) 2x M4 screws (minimum 20mm, I used 35mm) If you want updates or modifications,
