Comment on Any resources on using a 3D printer as a plotter cutter

I have made something similar before for my Ender 5. You could indeed just tape it to the toolhead and set your home coordinates manually.

It’s definitely possible and the biggest challenge is making gcode that is compatible with Marlin. I’ve tried using gcode substitution commands in Prusaslicer as well as programs like FlatCAM and gotten good results out of it.

Sweet! Are you satisfied with the results?
I’m actually leaning towards just using a silhouette, after I found out that my makerspace has one. 😅

It’s not bad I would say. Right now I’m making a dedicated CNC for these kind of things and have the 3D printer just 3D print.
Here’s an example of a result from the laser cutter attachment.
