These pieces allow you to use your printer as a plotter. It consists of a bracket that fits on the Cubicon Single extruder, and a set of adaptors (printed in Ninjaflex flexible filament) that connect a pen to the bracket. I used it so the pen is 0.2 mm lower than the print head. The bracket also uses an M4 12mm screw and bolt to secure it to the print head.
I used Simplify3D to convert gray scale images to 3D litophanes first, and with the help of some post processing create g-code files that do the plotting.

A couple of things to keep in mind:
* The plotter is running without heating the extruder, so you need to unload the fillament before using it as a plotter and disable the fillament detection in the Cubicon Single configuration.
* Because the Cubicon Single has an auto leveling feature that starts at the beginning you can not put the pen it at the start. A very slow y
