Upgrade your K8200 to a 2D plotter for any material you can draw with! Crayon, pencil, ink, gold, you name it!
Required:
Two square Ø5mm bolts
Two 25mm Ø5mm screws, flat ended
Two 20 Ø3mm screws, flat ended
Instructions:
Attach holder exactly opposite to the nozzle of the printer.
Put a sheet of paper on the print surface holding it in place with clothes pegs or similar.
Place a pen, marker, pencil or brush in the holder so it only barely touches the surface and tighten the outer screws to fasten it.
Create special settings within your slicer that adjust for the position of the pen, properly lift the pen in between strokes and before and after printing (using z-lifts/z-hops), and turn off the plate and nozzle heating. (Experiment carefully so as not to create a dangerous situation or destroy your printer!) Scale 3D models to the height of a single layer before slicing.
Let me know if you have any questions!
