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!

@Plottervision 4 года назад

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/

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 3 года назад

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!

@@Plottervision Thanks for the info, have a great weekend!

@navidthenerd2027 2 года назад

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

@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.

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

@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.

@ltva8781 3 года назад

@@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

What are you elevating your easel on?

@alexandraalbu6360 4 года назад

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.

How much time it's take to complete A4 size paper notes

@celestinsemanou3571 4 года назад

Je suis intéressé. Combien coûte cet outil?

@Plottervision 4 года назад

The V3/A3 is about 600 EUR (e.g. here www.robotshop.com/eu/en/axidraw-v3-a3-personal-writing-drawing-robot.html)

@weirdweirdidgafwtf321 4 года назад

i'm thinking of getting one, what software is it compartable with??

@Plottervision 4 года назад

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

@livecanlife2831 4 года назад

Sir do we have to upload the software or this came for with uploaded software.

@Plottervision 4 года назад

You can download the Axidraw extension for Inkscape from here: wiki.evilmadscientist.com/Axidraw_Software_Installation

@JuliaNeubauer 4 года назад

What language (e.g., hpgl, hpgl/2) does plotter understand?

@Plottervision 4 года назад

It can take SVGs through Inkscape.

@GramerNatzi 3 года назад

What do I use this machine for?

@JuliaNeubauer 3 года назад

I use my HPGL/2 plotters for 1-pc. garment patterns. PlotterVision states their plotters us a different language-SVG (Inkscape).

@metalmorphstan 4 года назад

Does this work for robot-writing postcards from a CSV file to make it look like real human writing?

@Plottervision 4 года назад

Yeah, there's some software available from the manufacturers on request that can handle those kinds of tasks: wiki.evilmadscientist.com/AxiDraw_Merge

Berapa harganya

@nimethwith7899 2 года назад

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.
