For anyone who wants to use the Axidraw without being directly attached to your laptop, I've written a bit about how to use a Raspberry PI to wirelessly plot your art: https://medium.com/p/f9e0a872138e https://medium.com/p/f9e0a872138e
- nkozyra 3y agoThat's really helpful and I've thought about doing this because I don't have a dedicated space for my axidraw and it's kind of a hassle to move around (I have the XL) I use it for art a bit, for creating really nice notebooks for organization. If you're into these things, I'll also say that the Cricut (a cutting / craft tool) also does pen plotting and while it's a much smaller space (max 12" wide, possibly infinitely long) it can be purchased for much cheaper and is a bit more versatile.
- sleepybrett 3y agoI fastened mine to board with a metal plotting surface (I picked up a cheapo 'metal whiteboard' on amazon). When I'm not using it I slide it sideways behind my desk. It's worked out well, it's a nice .. subjectively level surface. I can using my plotter on pretty much any small table at all as the board will make it bigger... This also helps so that I don't constantly have to worry about accidentally bumping the table and causing the drawing surface to move in relation to the potter or visa versa.
