I put down wax paper to protect my MK2.5&#8217;s bed and clamped some cheap maple ply wood down to test wood burning. I changed and rewrote some gcode profiles in slic3r to allow my printer to wood burn (or at least hold a wood burner) I slowed the speed down to 7mm\/s and set a Z offset as well as many other things. I&#8217;ve been working on this project for a little bit now and went through many changes, one of my first tests was using a hardened steel nozzle instead of my brass one to try and burn the wood. However, it didn&#8217;t heat up enough. I also researched many different laser diodes to try but they ended up being a little too expensive. I&#8217;d be happy to share more details, STL&#8217;s, or silc3r profiles if anyone is interested for whatever reason. I started all this because I wanted to try wood burning a design for my Dad&#8217;s birthday but I don&#8217;t have very steady hands or experience with pyrograpgy (wood burning). I was hoping I could use the 2 axis on my 3D printer for steady and precise drawing and it totally worked! I also want to give another quick thanks to u\/Butweye for posting a project he did that involved strapping a pen to his 3d printer, that idea led me to my current solution and so far it works wonderfully!Also, super special thanks to u\/BillieRubenCamGirl for originally suggesting the idea of using a soldering iron instead of the pen on the X-carridge.Experimenting with a gift for my Dad&#8217;s birthday https:\/\/ift.tt\/2MieRme<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Reddit!Stopped early for a pictureI modified a pen holder on thingiverse for the Prusa i3 MK2 (https:\/\/ift.tt\/2vLxuIz) to fit my soldering iron.
