Convert 3d printer to vinyl cutter.

Most of 3d printers are jus. By attaching a laser to the extruder for example you can easily convert your 3d printer to a laser engraver or even cutter. First the nozzle is replaced by a laser using a self made 3d printed holder. My first serious post here on thingiverse as well as the first time i model something from scratch i marked this as a remix from pascalmakes pen holder even if i just needed the support that attaches to the fan.

Here is what you need to get started. So this thing turns your ender 3 into a cnc 3 axis cutter. The laser circuit is optically sepparated from the 3d printer circuit. If you also still keep all the 3d printer parts attached you can quite quickly build a dual purpose machine with the laser diode being the only cost to your new laser cutter.

It can be done by anyone who has assembled a 3d printer. Converting the 3d printer to a laser cutter is relatively easy. Vinyl cutters can be very expensive so vinyl hacker decided to share with us the alternate route some people have taken. An old hp pen plotter with a serial.
