CNC 3018 Pen Mount

SummaryThis pen holder is specifically designed for the CNC 3018 machine and can be entirely manufactured using a 3D printer. The design consists of four main parts, which can be easily assembled. Additionally, three screws are required to secure the lid, and a grub screw is used to fix the desired pen in place.Custom Section Software (LaserGRBL) To provide the CNC machine with the correct G-code commands, I used LaserGRBL to vectorize or trace the centerline of my photo.It's crucial to set the S-max setting to 1000 and the S-min setting to 0. The size can be adjusted as desired. Once this is done, the created file can be exported as a G-code file. Software (OpenBuildsCONTROL) Now, upload the generated G-code into the free program OpenBuildsControl. Using the GCODE Editor function and the "Find/Replace" command, change all S1000 entries to Z-3 and all S0 entries to Z3. This will switch the command from laser to linear Z-axis movement, causing the pen to move up or down at t
