In this video a CNC plotter tool is modeled with free opensource CAD software called OPENSCAD (all code is written out and explained in the video). The plotter tool is then 3D printed, assembled, and run through a simple plotting demonstration using a CNC.
Reminder: Always remember to have router/spindle turned off when using this tool and wear your safety glasses.
The plotter tool was printed with PLA and may be used on any CNC with a standard 1/4 inch collet. This video is a 3D printable version CNC Plotter (with new dimensions and design optimized for 3D printing) that parallels an earlier video on my channel which demonstrated how to model a plotter tool with Vcarve Pro software and machine in wood.
This video also shares a new easy way to obtain a spring (from a source likely already in your home). The model no longer requires set screws to hold the pen in place.
I hope you enjoy and make your own plotter tool. There are many other videos on my channel showing a CNC plotter in action so be sure to subscribe and check them out.

Nice! I'm going to try this - thank you! Are you just running a profile toolpath at 0 depth of cut?

Awesome. If you are zeroing pen tool at the poster/paper surface then do a profile toolpath-- line on (router off) at 2.5 mm or about 0.10 inches (the spring gives you some margin of error-- so if you want to you can go down another mm or so). The total up down movement in spring is about 5 mm so pick a DOC profile less than 5 mm and greater than zero mm. Let me know in the comments how the pen tool worked for you or if you have anymore questions.

Hi nice project will you make the 3D file available to download & print ? Find the CAD software confusing thanks

@Simplifycnc 21 день назад

Definitely, will do. I will come back here and post when I have a host location for the STL (assuming I am allowed by youtube to post the file location)--hopefully next week.
