Open Inkscape, go to Extensions > Generate Plotter Gcode > Draw 3D GCODE Generator In my case, raising it by 5mm is more than enough. Now, just note down the position of your X, Y and Z axis.Īlso, get an estimate of how much you need to raise the pen so that it stops touching the paper. Make sure to leave some clearance for the binder clips. Then use the move axis menu on your LCD or any other tool such as octoprint or pronterface, move the pen’s nib to the bottom left corner of the paper where you want the drawing to start. Attach paper on your bed with binder clips. You can also google the size of the build plate for your printer.
We need to measure a few things because the extension will require these to generate the code for your printer.įirst, measure the x and y dimensions of your printer. Just print a holder and mount a pen on your printer’s head. You can find many other designs on Thingiverse.
Existing scale definitions will not be overwritten.Here are links to printable pen holders for Ender 3/3pro, CR10 or similar printers designed by me: But: this will only apply to scraps which have no scale annotation yet. Then, on export to th2 format, choose the appropriate scale in the dialog which will be set as scrap scale. Draw stuff with a defined scale of 1:100 or 1:200 for example. In “Document Properties” set “Default units” to some metric unit like “cm”. To calibrate a map which has no surveying point in it (sections etc.) use this workflow:
th2 file in upper left corner of document page you'll find the palette of point and line symbols. You may use Set Properties dialog or Object Properties or XML editor to check or add parameters or (user)object which are not in menu. Only path data is exported (no text, bitmaps, etc.). With a value of 0.000 the filter is ignored and all paths are exported. The width must be given in pixels (px), consult the “Fill and Stroke” dialog if you don't know the acutall stroke width of your path. Stroke Width Filter: It is possible to export only paths with a particular stroke width.
