Has anyone used their SM as a drawing machine?
If I designed and printed a pen holder to bolt onto the X axis, do you still need to connect a module?
What software can be used to generate the Gcode for the drawings?
There has been discussions about this before, search is your friend:
I’d love to see a pen plotter module for the 2.0 (something like the Axidraw).
Would be relatively simple I think. Essentially a 2-axis device with a pen/pencil attachment for using one’s own pens.
I wonder if it could be coupled with a digital knife attachment.
I’ve seen a few DIY versions of the pen plotter using Velcro or tape.
Would love to hear others’ thoughts.
Similar idea with a more thorough discussion:
I have designed a Vinyl Cutter attachment for the Snapmaker 2.0 bracket. The STL files have been uploaded to MyMiniFactory here: MyMiniFactory Snapmaker 2.0 Vinyl Cutter (Drag Knife) the device allows conversion of the Snapmaker into a drag knife for cutting vinyl, primarily, since using a laser to cut vinyl is extremely hazardous to your health. Feel free to give it a shot and let me know how you like it.

Yeah, I tried that, my key words were not correct.
Thanks
