Hey Bill and welcome to the Forums here… Glad to have you…!!
As a matter of fact, this very thought has been brought up a few times before… It sounds to me like some guys are doing just what you propose in your question above… Here’s a couple of links that will take you to a little more information…
If you do a search on the forum here for the word “Sharpie”, you’ll find a little more than what I’ve listed here…
I’d give Youtube a go at this subject as well… You never know what you can find there!
Happy Reading… Bill P.

i actually found a sharpie holder on the free sites for 3d printer patterns…had a friend make it and i often draw out a complex pattern out on the metal before I cut it
i bought this recently although i haven’t used it yet. yeah a lil pricey but i don’t have a 3d printer.
