This pen holder is to convert my Anycubic Mega-S 3D printer into a 2D plotter.
From my research, pen holders that allow the pen to float up and down yield the best results. This device uses a small rubber band was used to apply downward pressure on the pen. 1 mm of tension seems to work well.
The clearance for the slider was .1 mm. But that allowed a tiny amount of side to side movement. So I added a piece of Scotch tape on each side which made a near perfect slip fit.
The 3.5 mm holes were tapped for an M4 thread
(7) M4 x 6mm screws are used to assemble the pieces.
