In this video a CNC plotter tool is modeled with free opensource CAD software called OPENSCAD (all code is written out and explained in the video). The plotter tool is then 3D printed, assembled, and run through a simple plotting demonstration using a CNC.

Reminder: Always remember to have router/spindle turned off when using this tool and wear your safety glasses.

The plotter tool was printed with PLA and may be used on any CNC with a standard 1/4 inch collet. This video is a 3D printable version CNC Plotter (with new dimensions and design optimized for 3D printing) that parallels an earlier video on my channel which demonstrated how to model a plotter tool with Vcarve Pro software and machine in wood.

This video also shares a new easy way to obtain a spring (from a source likely already in your home). The model no longer requires set screws to hold the pen in place.

I hope you enjoy and make your own plotter tool. There are many other videos on my channel showing a CNC plotter in action so be sure to subscribe and check them out.
