This is the magic mount that allowed me to accurately and repeatably mount pencils on my Zmorph FAB.

This year I made personalized pencils as gifts for people. I first had to make mounts for the pencils that would be sturdy yet allow me to swap pencils quickly.
I don't know if this is sturdy enough for real CNC machining… let me know! If this mounts on other machines or if you need a tweak in the design also let me know and I will update it if possible :)
Please let me know if this works for you or if you need any changes!
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Print 1x Hinge mount and 1x screw mount and secure a m4 bolt and square nut.
- Print as many Pencil housings as you want!
- Install the M4 nut and bolt into the screw mount with the bolt facing outside
- Put the pencil into the housing. I used Ticonderoga #2 pencils. If you want to try this with other pencil brands I believe this would also work :)
- Mount these to your worktable. give the pencil 1-2mm of slack so you can remove it easily.
- Then you only need to calibrate your machine to the face you plan to engrave and you are good to go!
Good luck! Post a Make if you like!
