All of them need to be printed in ABS, and get their springiness from built-in ABS springs. Experience shows that you'll have to measure, print, modify, print again. You may be able to use my OpenSCAD file to to customize for other printers. The attachment clip needs to be customized for your particular print head. The tool holder then screws or glues to it. The attachment clip provides a mounting surface, with screw holes or gluable mounting holes, that clips onto the print head. My total cost was under $20, not counting the printer.įor versatility and easy of printing, I went with a two-part approach:
cutter holder and blades (I used this one) (for cutter). pins, plywood, screws and bungee cord (for extended print platform). The software side of this is a Python script / Inkscape plugin that I wrote to convert SVG / HPGL path files into gcode that the printer can print. It was important to me that the printer mod be easily and quickly installable and uninstallable, so one can quickly switch between plotting, cutting and 3D printing. cutting paper or vinyl with a drag-knife. drawing traces on circuit boards for etching. plotting with fabric markers on T-shirts the main point is to make coloring-sheet T-shirts our 4-year-old can color with fabric markers. It's very stable & really does almost everything Illustrator does, only it's WAY better because it's Open Source & totally FREE.I got an XYZ DaVinci 1.0a, hacked to have Repetier 0.92mod firmware, and wanted to use it as a plotter / cutter as well as a 3D printer. Making the above changes took about half an hour & now Inkscape. Just Google "Inkscape Mac GTK themes & toolsets". There are several sites that show you how to do this. I upgraded the butt-ugly Inkscape Windoze GUI theme to a snazzy dark grey GTK theme & tool set, which makes it look & almost like native Mac software. I makes my workflow much smoother & more efficient. This means I can use Inkscape without constantly stumbling around the keyboard. I altered the XQuartz (X11) keyboard commands to use the Command key instead of the Control key. 91 runs almost like a native Mac app-once I made two changes:ġ. Inkscape was always awkward on a Mac because it used X11 & Windoze key commands & the clunky Windoze interface.īut now Inkscape. 
I've been waiting for the promised Inkscape Mac native version for years, ever since Adobe bought & killed Freehand because Illustrator couldn't compete with it.
