Details are still fuzzy
it's still in the works, that mount was just a prototype that took maybe a half hour to design and an hour to print so there will probably be certain changes.
The gcode is pretty standard (I may have changed a few other thing as this was the same profile I was using on my paste extruder) but main changes were using a M302 command to allow for code extrusion (The gear is covered but I assume it's still spinning the extrusion stepper during printing.) and I got rid of the wipe. In S3D I changed the nozzle diameter and extrusion width so it would just print a single outline/perimeter shell correctly. (per the view) I'm still working on the settings and need to still get it so if I try to color in the lines using 100% infill it doesn't overlap too much. I've only done a few test prints (I mean drawings
) so far.
I also need to play with the line thickness using the z height still, but in a nut shell for initial testing I just offset my z_height with the m206 so the hotend is farther away from the bed. I start a print and when it gets to where would be drawing I hit STOP while holding the z-knob, I then enable motors to hold the bed at that height and then just set the height of the marker by dropping it on the bed and lock it in place with the screw on the front of the mount.
I bought some ultra fine tip sharpies to try but I need to make a new sleeve for them to fit the mount. Off to print that now.

Jules... I've been wanting to try cutters actually, awhile ago I saw someone made a attachment for those for the M2.

How about an adapter for all my Kitchen-Aid mixer attachments?
No..... My printer already smells like a bakery because of my paste extruder tests.
