  1. Video 1 - [1]
  2. GcodePlot extension for inkscape. Inkscape post - [2]. Github - [3]. Instructable - [4]
  3. Pen holder 3D design - [5]. Simplest way - is a flat piece of plastic. Support should be 2-point for parallelogramming (goes straight down) or 4 point for straight up-down - though 2-point parallelogramming should likewise produce straight up-down. See D3D Universal#Plotter pen holder design.

Notes

  1. Installed GcodePlot for Inkscape
  2. Drew in inkscape. Set coordinates the same in Save As Gcode and in Document/Settings for the document
  3. Viewed the file in https://ncviewer.com/. Line I drew showed up, but not the text.
