If you're like me, you prefer notebooks with grid markings rather than lines. Useful for planning projects or making checkbox lists. My favorites have just the grid crossings marked with small crosses. Sometimes it is even better to be have a grid you can erase after inking the design. This enables that. Use a hard pencil for very light lines. Of course, if you wish, you can just use this to lay out the edge markings and use a ruler (or the edge of the template) to draw the whole lines.
The .f3d model lets you set the following parameters in Fusion 360:
in addition, if you wish you can set:
Pencil opening CALIBRATION:
You will need to calibrate your print to make the pencil openings the right size. I found that when I set the pencilTrackWidth to 0.5mm for my 0.5mm mechanical pencil, the slicer made a much bigger opening, so it was necessary to adjust XY Size Calibration (in PrusaSlicer, Print Settings>Advanced>Slicing>XY Size Calibration. Surprisingly, it wanted a full +0.2mm. Seems like a lot in a 0.5mm hole, but it worked. This is the default setting used in the gcode given.
If you want to set this for a 0.5mm pencil lead, try the gcode or the STL test files for a 1x1 square grid, and see how well it works for your pencil, then adjust from there. If you want to set it up for a larger or smaller pencil, edit the parameters in the Fusion file and go from there. I still recommend printing a small one to experiment with the size of the openings.
