Overview

D3D Universal features interchangeable toolheads. The machine can be used for 3D printing, pen plotting, and drilling.

Currently, the Universal Gearless Extruder toolhead has a ready attachment of a pen for plotting. See some plots:

D3D_Universal_3D_CAD#Plotter was original work, but since then, we have integrated the pen plotter attachment into the 3D printer head. This was an innovation from the January 2020 STEAM Camp.

Thus, look at the D3D_Universal_3D_CAD#Printer_Extruder_-_Universal_Gearless_Extruder - for the source of the extruder file with the pen attachment. The disadvantage is that the integrated design has no spring action. Teh
