This 3d printed 3 Jaw chuck might work well. Did a couple of test prints this morning & modifying the design for my needs. I changed the...
This one was even more wobbly & plastic adapter seemed straight to me. Guess I will send it back. [Edit] This 3d printed 3 jaw chuck might be...
I usually have to adjust the pen a little in the plastic adapter to get it pretty straight & have gone over several of them without problems. I...
Here is a video crooked test of the drill chuck. Looks aligned straight in the adapter. I have 3 openings all the way down that I was able to...
I have a Hepa filter in my room now, so the smell should at least dissipate better. This spindle is such a small footprint, it will probably...
This was quite wobbly when I put it on the machine. I thought there was a problem with the chuck, so I turned it upside down & chucked it...
I tried a couple of drill chucks. One really inexpensive one that went from 0.3mm to 8.0mm & another one from Amazon that is 2mm-13mm. The...

Looks pretty good. That pen lends itself to a portrait orientation anyway. It is nice to see someone else using this machine. You could use foam...
