Open Inkscape, go to Extensions > Generate Plotter Gcode > Draw 3D GCODE Generator In my case, raising it by 5mm is more than enough. Now, just note down the position of your X, Y and Z axis.Īlso, get an estimate of how much you need to raise the pen so that it stops touching the paper. Make sure to leave some clearance for the binder clips. Then use the move axis menu on your LCD or any other tool such as octoprint or pronterface, move the pen’s nib to the bottom left corner of the paper where you want the drawing to start. Our square will become surrounded by tiny arrows. (photo 1) Click 'Select and transform objects' (F1) from the sidebar. Click 'Create Rectangles & Squares' (F4) from the sidebar. Attach paper on your bed with binder clips. Launch Inkscape Click 'FileDocument properties' (Shift+Ctrl+D)and set your paper size. You can also google the size of the build plate for your printer.

We need to measure a few things because the extension will require these to generate the code for your printer.įirst, measure the x and y dimensions of your printer. Just print a holder and mount a pen on your printer’s head. You can find many other designs on Thingiverse. JLCPCB are the leader in PCBC manufacturing they have a world class PCB production line, that ensure the fast and Quality PCB production in really very affordable rates.Here are links to printable pen holders for Ender 3/3pro, CR10 or similar printers designed by me: Users who use this extension to generate G-Code for a machine other than a MakerBot CupCake CNC with a Unicorn Pen Plotter attachment do so at their own risk.
