That's interesting. I had an Axidraw plotter I liked though eventually built my own plotter because I needed a bit more versatility.
Perhaps there are competitors there now, but would love to see a hobbyist level machine with the convenience of 3d printers. I spent too much time with my plotter doing things like formatting svg's or manually homing the machine.
- cosiiine 3y agoAxidraw's are pretty much plug and play, and the software support is outstanding with plugins for Inkscape along with a CLI and Python API. There's also Vpype, another piece of FOSS software that can make SVGs plotter friendly. I believe the new Axidraw (teased on the Bantam Tools website and called the Nextdraw) has better honing capabilities. Seeing as how Bantam tools specialized in CNC mills, I suspect we'll see further improvements too.
