Summary
I have designed a pen holder to turn my printer into a drawing machine which fits the Swappable hot end. Unlike most pen holders I have seen, this one is activated using a 12V solenoid. This way it is possible to control it quite similar to controlling a laser cutter. The solenoid is, like the laser cutter, controlled by the part end fan connection. This worked as well as I could have hoped for!

- Mini v-slot idler pulley kit https://reprapworld.com/products/mechanical/pulleys/v_slot_idler_pulley_kit_mini/?search/
- 4× M3×8mm countersunk screws
- 2× M3×20mm screws for clamping the pen (length of the screws depends on the thickness of the pen)
- 1× M3×20 screw for adjusting the stroke
- At least 1 m5 washer for the adjustable v-slot pulley
- 2× m3 nut for the version with inserts, otherwise 4×
- 1× m3 wing nut. A regular nut will do too
