I made a CNC machine with pen to draw what i need to change in marlin firmware.

didn't use limit switch
only 3 stepper motors
and graphical lcd with sd card

what's the software i need to use and what's the changes need to be in firmware to change it from 3d printer to cnc with pen.

I built a MPCNC the firmware is preset-up for Dual XY Steppers and a Z Axis though you can disable the Dual XY Steppers and should be real close to what you would need.

MPCNC V1 Engineering Inc Software / Firmware
In configuration_adv.h remark out the lines below for single X/Y stepper motors

//#define X_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS
//#define Y_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS

MPCNC Build information is here so you can get an ideal if this will work for you.

Image Below is a sketch Drawn with the MPCNC, However due to my setup the Sketch's feet went off the Paper on Right side.
