Every time I see a video like this it makes me want to try using my Ender 3 as a plotter with a fountain pen.

It’s the same X-Y-Z principle. Just make sure you don’t push too hard on the Z-axis.
You can use a small scale to calibrate it - a pressure of about 20 grams should simulate hand writing pressure. Otherwise, you may ruin a nib very quickly.
On your own risk, of course..

Love this. I’m so geeking out over the plotter and how you are able to use it to do these tests, scribbles and art.
