    I’m having a hard time figuring out how the drawing gets to the plotter and if my iPad Pro 2018 will work? I’m just barely learning about all this so anything helps, thanks!

      I haven't heard of anyone using a Plotter from an iPad, but I guess it might be possible. It connects to a computer via USB. Ask the folks at EMSL: www.evilmadscientist.com/contact/

    Hello! can you tell me how I set to fill the image when I make a drawing? not just the contour. Thanks.

      @Plottervision  3 года назад

      You'll need the "hatch fill" inkscape plugin, which does the job nicely.

    Can it mimic my handwriting ? Can i make something in paint or any other program and have it come out looking handmade, as long as i use lines ?

    • @Plottervision
      @Plottervision  3 года назад +1

      You can mimic handwriting to some extent, yes. You can also draw things in a vector graphics programme (paint is raster, not vector) and then plot it. It's a lot of fun!

    Can you use this machine for cutting normal papers by using a cutter instead of a pen?

    • @mllelafortune
      @mllelafortune Год назад

      You should use a cutter plotter instead, like Sihlouette Cameo or Mint. Pen plotters, like the AxiDraw, are not meant for that.

      Most people use it through Inkscape, you can also control it from the command line.

    I heard that servo needs to be replaced time to time. Is it possible without cutting these plastic bends?

    • @Plottervision
      @Plottervision  3 года назад

      We've not needed to replace our servo in more than a year of plotting, but my understanding is that it's a simple process. New servo motors come with additional cable ties.

      @@Plottervision thanks. I asked this because I'm planning to plot among all other things big complex plots requiring DAYS, so in my case servo will break sooner I guess

      It can take SVGs through Inkscape.

    Why is this Axidraw even more expensive than a 3d printer? $550?? Not worth it. You can build one or just buy an ender 3 3d printer and add a pen. Lol.
