• 4 x M3 washers

3D Printing

• Download the files from Thingiverse
• Open the 3D models in Cura or any other slicer(Sli3er, Simplify 3D, etc.)
• Use 75% infill on all the parts (An infill of 70 – 100% will work as well)
• Printed all the parts with 0.10 – 0.20 mm layer height
• Printed with Hatchbox Red PLA
• Use supports on the Penholder, Slider, X_Support_L and the X_Support_R

Note: The longest part took around 9hrs and the shortest took 30 minutes to print

3D Printed Parts

Cut your Linear Rods

Use a measuring tape and sharpie to mark the spots where the rods need to be cut

• Use a vise to hold the rods in place when you cut them
• Remember that you need (2) 350mm and (2) 450mm long linear rods
• On the threaded rod, mark your cutting point at 470mm

Assemble the X-Axis (Linear/Threaded Rods)

Take the (2) 450mm linear rods and insert them into either x-support part

• Use may need to use a round file to smooth out the holes that you insert them in
• Also, you can use a rubber mallet to help insert the rods

Now take the threaded rod and insert it in the hole below. Feed a 5/16in washer and 5/16in nut on both sides of the x-support part

Assemble the X-Axis (Bearings)

Now you want to push the LM8UU bearings into their place on the top and bottom clamshell (The top and bottom clamshell take (4) bearings each)

Take (4) 624zz bearings and push them through the 3D-printed idler pulleys. Leave the 5th bearing for later when you assemble the Y-axis

Assemble the X-Axis (Carriage)

• Get (4) M3-0.5 x 20mm screws, (4) M3 nuts, (4) M3 washers and (4) 624zz bearings with the idler pulleys installed
• Take one screw and feed a washer through it, the washer will rest on the bearing. The nut will be at the bottom of the carriage, which will secure the bearing in place

Assemble the X-Axis (X-Support)

• Slide the clamshell through the 450mm (X-axis) linear rods
• Use a rubber mallet again to attach the last X-support on the linear rods
• Make sure that the rods stick out equally on both sides
• Slide the other end of the threaded rod through the hole on the X-support
• Put on the last set of nuts and washers to hold the X-support in place
• Now that the X-axis is complete, you can use (2) Phillips M3-0.5 x 16mm screws per X-support to help keep the linear rods from sliding

Assemble the X-Axis (Stepper Motors)

• Use an appropriate sized allen wrench to attach the 16 teeth pulleys on the stepper motor shafts
• Flipping the entire chassis around will make it easier to attach the stepper motors
• Use (8) M3-0.5 x 6mm screws and a Phillips screwdriver to attach the (2) stepper motors

Assemble the Y-Axis (Clamshell)

(Optional if you have problems keeping belt on bearings)

• Grab (4) M4-0.5 x 35mm screws and (4) M4 nuts
• Make sure that you have the (4) idler pulleys ( Download from Thingiversa ) and the (4) washers printed
• Insert the washers in between the two clamshells, with a screw in between
• Screw the top and bottom clamshells together

Assemble the Y-Axis (Y- Back/Front)

• Take the (2) 350mm linear rods and insert them the Y-back piece by using a rubber mallet
• Get (1) M4-0.5 x 35 screw, (1) M4 nut and the 5th 624zz bearing
• Get (2) M3-0.5 x 16 screws to secure the linear rods
• Slide in the bearing when inserting the screw through the Y-back piece
• Slide the the linear rods/Y-back piece through the LM8UU bearings and attach the Y-front piece using a rubber mallet

Assemble the X-Y Axis (Belt)

• Use a pair of needle nose pliers to help guide the GT2 belt more easily through the clamshell
• Take the two ends of the belt and slide them through the “teeth” on the Base Slider
• The belt should be tight and not loose
• Note that once the GT2 belt is on, it is normal for the clamshell not to move easily

Belt Diagram

Assemble the Z-Axis

• Get (2) 3mm linear rods and the following 3D printed parts (Slider, Pen Holder, Base Slide, 3MM Metric Thumb Screw)
• Get (1) Hex M3-0.5 x 20mm screw and the Metric Thumb Screw and push them together. Use superglue to keep it together.
• Get (3) M3-0.5 x 16mm screws which you will use the secure the Base Slide to the Y-Front part. You may need to use (3) M3-0.5 nuts in order to hold it in place
• Push the Slider and Pen Holder together to make one piece
• Now take that new part and the (2) 3mm linear rods and slide the rods through the holes. Place a small spring in between the two parts so there is a little bit of pressure to lift the Slider. You may need to cut the spring a bit until there is an adequate amount of pressure on the slider.

i constructed all the machine but when i press X+ the both X and Y axis are moving what is the problem

double check the steppers wiring

Have you solved it? I have the same problem with my machine, when I press X+, it’s necessary both motors move at same time, but, only one of them move…

Did you solve this problem?

Same problem how to solve ,?

Is it true that you didn’t use the microswitches in the final design?

Hello how to co figurę this machine to RUN on GRBL. What I mean is that GRBL interprets commands for x axis and y axis independently and if I look on your belt diagram it looks like both Motors have to run at the same time in order to move the carriage along y axis… How did you do that?

Have you solved it?

Thank you, thank you. It’s a very good built.

Is it possible to modify it to draw using brush ang oil based paint ?

Could you please tell what software/plug in and which version do you use to generate g-code for this machine?

Hello, what is the width of your belt? 6mm or 10mm? Thanks!

Where to buy AxiDraw

AxiDraw machines are available for purchase directly from Evil Mad Scientist as well as from select distributors:

Frequently Asked Questions

The AxiDraw is a pen plotter, which is a type of simple robot. Its sole function is to guide a pen (or other implement mounted in the pen holder) along the set of vector lines, curves, and paths that you ask it to follow. Everything that the machine is ultimately capable of, such as drawing graphics, writing text, or signing documents, are expressions of this basic function. It is capable of drawing essentially anything that can be composed from a set of lines.

In practice, this is much like using a traditional printer, except that you need to take care that your documents are made of paths, rather than pixels.

The AxiDraw is an extremely versatile machine, designed to serve a wide variety of everyday and specialized drawing and writing needs. You can use it for almost almost any task that might normally be carried out with a handheld pen.

AxiDraw does not require proprietary pens or ink: you can use your own pens, chosen within certain guidelines.

AxiDraw can hold most types of pens and similar instruments up to 5/8" (16 mm) diameter. (A larger XL Pen Clip is available as well to fit larger pens.)

Good choices for pens to use include fountain pens, permanent markers, liquid-ink rollerball pens, technical pens, small-bodied whiteboard markers and other writing and drawing instruments that do not require significant downward pressure. While we refer to writing and drawing instruments as “pens” to be concise, other instruments such as automatic pencils (particularly with soft lead), chalk, charcoal, and brushes can also work well in many cases.

You can read more about pen choices in our documentation here .

AxiDraw does not require special paper; you can use almost any kind and size of paper. (You can even use all kinds of things that are not paper.)

The XY travel (printable area) of the AxiDraw V3 is just over that of both US letter (8½ × 11”) and A4 paper sizes. The larger size models have about twice this travel.

You can work with any size of paper up to the size of the travel area. You can write directly onto small pieces like business cards (or a whole array of them), medium size pieces envelopes and note cards, or sheets of paper.

You can also work with paper larger than the travel area. The unique design of the AxiDraw features a drawing head that extends beyond the body of the machine, making it possible to also draw on flat objects bigger than the machine itself. For example, you can set it right on top of a box to write an address. You can even set it on top of a poster board, chalkboard, or whiteboard to draw graphics in place.

For most applications, the standard-size AxiDraw V3 is the best choice. It's compact so that it fits on your desk more easily, and has enough plotting area to cover any size up to 8½ × 11” / A4.

The larger AxiDraw V3/A3 has twice the plotting area and is perfect for people who need to plot larger items, or to fit two smaller items — like two US Letter or A4 pages side by side, or a sheet of paper plus an envelope.

The Special Edition AxiDraw SE/A3 has the same plotting area as the V3/A3, but features a heavy, rigid base CNC machined from a solid block of Aluminum. It's our top-of-the-line machine, and includes a few nice accessories as well.

Available AxiDraw accessories include alternate pen holders, a tripod mount, a rigid mount that can be used instead of the pen slide, extended feet, extra clip easels, and magnetic workholding easels. You can find them listed here at Evil Mad Scientist.

AxiDraw requires a reasonably modern computer (Mac, Windows, or Linux) with an available USB port and internet access to download software.

Mac requirements: MacOS 10.7 or newer

Windows requirements: Windows 7 or newer

Linux requirements: Recent versions of Ubuntu and similar widely-supported distributions work well. If you are using an obscure or "challenging" distribution, we'll still do our best to help you out.

No. All standard AxiDraw models (V3, V3/A3, SE/A3) come complete, assembled, tested, and ready to use.

If you get a head start by reading the user guide and installing the software, you can be up and plotting five minutes after opening the box.

If you prefer a model that requires assembly, there is now also AxiDraw MiniKit 2 which comes as a kit.

Internet access is required only for downloading software and for access to online documentation.

Internet access is not required while preparing files or using AxiDraw.

A universal-input plug-in power supply is included with the AxiDraw. It accepts worldwide 100 V - 240 V input, and has a US/Canada style plug. For other regions, an inexpensive plug shape adapter will be needed.

No. Most users just make a file or drawing and plot it.

(That said, programming interfaces are available for those who are interested in them.)

You do not need to purchase any additional software to use AxiDraw.

AxiDraw is normally controlled through a set of extensions to Inkscape, the excellent, popular and free vector graphics program. Basic operation is much like that of a printer driver: you import or make a drawing in Inkscape, and use the extensions to plot your text or artwork. It's all handled through a straightforward graphical user interface, and works cleanly on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Yes, and we highly encourage you to do so. Reading the manual is a great way to determine if AxiDraw is a good fit for you.

The AxiDraw V3 family user guide is available for download here .

Unlike a (raster-based) inkjet or laser printer, the time that it takes a plotter to print a page is not fixed. Rather, it depends on the length of distance that the pen has to travel. The AxiDraw typically moves at about the speed of a human hand, depending on your settings, and the plotting time varies accordingly.

This question is much like asking how long a human takes to write or draw on a piece of paper: Addressing an envelope might typically take a minute or two, but complex artwork can potentially be a matter of hours. Such is the case as well for AxiDraw.

Yes. The speed of the AxiDraw is adjustable, depending on your tradeoff between faster completion and higher precision. AxiDraw can move quite quickly (faster than a human normally can) when making large strokes with a wide-tipped marker, but even a (human) calligrapher will slow down for higher neatness. The wedding invitation text in our video should give you a decent idea of typical writing speed when going for higher neatness; that example is a little slower than people normally write.

Yes! The best way to do that is by directly capturing your signature as you sign it, for example on a phone or tablet screen. That way, the AxiDraw can replay it just in the same way that you wrote it. Capturing a signature is covered in our documentation on handwriting, here .

We also have exclusive utilities, available to AxiDraw owners, that can add handwriting-like "defects" to your text. Text laid out in perfectly even rows (like what you get with a handwriting font in MS word) always looks a little too "robotic" to be handwriting.

No, not in the way that you might hope.

Yes, you can scan handwritten text, trace it with a bitmap tracing tool, and plot it. This is straightforward, and your AxiDraw will be more than happy to comply. (AxiDraw will plot the paths that you provide to it.)

However, and with only rare exceptions, automatic tracing of scanned handwriting creates a somewhat unpleasant imitation of handwriting, and we do not recommend this approach as part of any workflow.

You can read more about tracing scans in our documentation, here . (In brief: there are excellent ways to use the AxiDraw to reproduce handwriting, but starting with a scan is not one of them.)

Not at present, but it is something that we are looking into.

Some AxiDraw users do use various types of paper handling machines — sometimes printers with built-in paper feeders and sometimes commercial solutions. Professional print shops and companies that make equipment for them have many different ways of moving pieces of paper from point A to point B.

More commonly, for small scale use, AxiDraw users manually swap out paper clipped to small clipboard easels or use larger-size AxiDraw units that allow multiple pages to fit within the print area.

Yes; you can see a few examples here .

The key issues that you need to be aware of is that the fabric generally needs to be held taut, and you need to choose markers that don't easily catch on the fabric. It is likely that with care and experimentation you will be able to make it work.

Calligraphy is not the same in any sense as (for example) simply using computer fonts or plotting a drawing. Calligraphy generally involves individually sculpted letter shapes, and in many cases pen movements that are far more complex than AxiDraw can provide.

That said, some calligraphers do use AxiDraw for low-end busywork (say, addressing hundreds of place cards), saving some wear on their wrists and presumably passing along some of the cost savings.

The AxiDraw is designed for moving a pen, not a carving or cutting tool. It does not have the type of rigidity that you need for carving, nor the ability to apply significant downward force.

That said, a number of people have experimented with it. Here is one notable project, using the AxiDraw for cutting cardstock and vinyl.

AxiDraw can be used with whatever fonts are on your computer, so long as the text is converted to paths before plotting.

We have developed a special-purpose software application called AxiDraw Merge , which is a mail merge solution for AxiDraw.

Once you are set up with it, AxiDraw Merge can automatically (1) populate a template with data sourced from a CSV file, (2) render the text into handwriting-like stroke-based fonts, (3) add intentionally variations so that text does not lie upon straight lines, and (4) plot the document. It can also merge and plot subsequent pages upon a button press or after a time delay.

AxiDraw Merge is available to AxiDraw owners at no additional cost.

The AxiDraw is designed to work on flat surfaces, and we do not test them in the vertical orientation. That said, quite a few AxiDraw users have mounted theirs to the wall without apparent difficulty.

One issue to consider is that the AxiDraw's pen holder normally rests the pen on the writing surface by its weight alone. On the wall, you'll need an alternative to gravity for lowering the pen. The typical solution is a rubber band.

(1) We maintain a large and growing library at the AxiDraw Wiki Page , our central documentation site for all things AxiDraw. Our documentation is clear and comprehensive, with special sections to help you get up and running quickly.

(2) We have support forums for the AxiDraw, here .

(3) Most importantly: We're the designers and manufacturers of the AxiDraw, and we're here to help! Please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

AxiDraw does not have a duty cycle limit. You can run it all day long if you like.

The AxiDraw is designed to be serviceable for a long life. Components such as the drive belt, rolling wheels, ball bearings, and stepper motors can all be replaced in the unlikely event that it should become necessary. (And, those parts are actually available if you need them.)

One component on the AxiDraw is considered expendable and may need regular replacement in heavy duty (e.g., industrial) settings. The small pen-lift servo motor does wear out over time but is inexpensive ($9) and straightforward to replace. For heavy duty applications, you may wish to keep a spare on hand. We do also offer a performance upgrade option to a long-lasting brushless pen-lift servo motor , which also gives the AxiDraw a major speed boost.

No. While AxiDraw is most commonly controlled through a set of extensions to Inkscape, there are other methods of plotting including the command-line interface (CLI).

Many AxiDraw users do their design work in other programs, and use Inkscape as their "page setup" screen for plotting.

For real-time plotting in response to user input and for certain other generative applications, you can plot directly within Processing .

AxiDraw machines are designed, manufactured, and tested right at our facility in Sunnyvale, California.

Demos are available by appointment at our shop in Sunnyvale, CA. Please contact us to request an appointment.

We're open M-F, 12-6, and closed on US postal holidays.

The AxiDraw has two precision stepper motors in its base. Together, they drive a single looped belt that moves the carriage around in the XY plane. The high-performance linear stages feature custom-designed wheels that roll smoothly on custom aluminum extrusions, specially designed for high stiffness and light weight.

The pen-lift stage uses a separate mechanism: a smaller third motor, combined with a precise low-friction linear stage, serves to lift the pen off of the page.

In addition to the popular AxiDraw models listed above we do make a few other standard sizes, as well as custom-sized and custom-configured AxiDraw machines.

One notable version is the compact AxiDraw MiniKit 2 which comes as a kit.

If you need a compact AxiDraw that is not a kit, we do make an AxiDraw V3/B6 (with plot area of 190 × 140 mm, or 7.48 × 5.51 inches) that is available by special order.

We also make larger format and customized AxiDraw machines to order, including the AxiDraw SE/A2 and SE/A1 with plot area of 594 × 432 mm (23.4 × 17 inches) and 864 × 594 mm (34 × 23.4 inches), respectively. These larger machines typically require a custom shipping quote.

No; we do not offer any printing services.

Please contact us and ask; we're here to help.

This homework writing machine project features a DIY writing machine that uses a typical pen. It can do outline writing and digital signature or even a real text. The main system uses a 2 axis stepper motor driver board with Nema stepper motors and Mg90S Metal Gear Servo control.

The 2 axis stepper motor driver board serves as the main controller. It organizes the motor drivers connection that best fit for the writing machine operation. This writing machine uses threaded rod rotated by nema 17 stepper motors for X-axis and Y-axis movements on the surface, while a Mg90S metal gear servo is used in the pen stand that moves the pen perpendicular to the writing surface. The movements of the motor are synchronized and quite accurate provided that it is assisted by a well-made writing machine frame structure with mixed of wood and acrylic materials.

This project is suitable for embedded development hence it can accomplished digital writing activity. It is also a good reference for DIY text and figure printing provided that it can draw specific figures.

• forlinxembedded 2024-03-21 04:05:55 Hello Erdem, It's interesting to learn about the differences in electric pole usage between countries. In many countries, wooden poles are commonly used due to their availability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation. However, in regions with higher load requirements like Turkey, stronger poles are necessary to support the infrastructure. In the USA and some European countries, wooden poles are reinforced and treated to withstand the required loads. Additionally, alternative materials like steel and concrete are also used for electric poles in various applications. If you're interested in learning more about electric pole types and standards in different countries, I recommend...

I can't give you answers, but can share some of my personal observations - which might be wrong. I work in northeastern USA where wooden utility poles are plentiful. Why are they used here? Probably because they grow on trees. :-) 50, 100, or 150 years ago when they were erecting them, they were the best choice.

DRAWINGBOT is an Open Hardware version of the famous machine AxiDraw which it is a pen plotter, capable of writing or drawing on almost any flat surface. It can write with pens, permanent markers, pencils, and other writing implements to handle an endless variety of applications. Its unique design features a writing head that extends beyond the machine, making it possible to draw on objects bigger than the machine itself. The biggest advantage of the machine is that it can be placed over the book because of the core XY extending design of the machine.

All parts are printed in ABS plastic in 70 °C heated chamber which makes the 3d printed layer very strong.

PLA parts are bad its brittle and break easily and lose strength after few months and the glass transition temperature of PLA is very low so if we place the parts under the sun or inside a parked car under the sun. the parts will slowly melt and deform and become unusable.

All of the above problems are solved by using ABS plastic. ABS is tricky to print its printed in a special water-cooled actively heated 3dprinter.

The Arduino will be programmed by us. so you dont have to upload any code to Arduino.

it’s just plugged and play, just connect the USB cable to the PC or laptop and power adaptor to the machine. and install the software and start drawing or writing

MAX DRAWING ARE : 24 X 30 CM

The machine comes with 3 month’s warranty. In case any parts get damaged contact us via WhatsApp / PH: 8590094244 we will send replacement parts without any cost and guide you to fix it.

After the warranty, you have to pay for the parts. ( all parts will be available )

Delivery will take 5-8 woriking days

Safeer Khan – 03/03/2021

I found this product after researching some marketing options for handwritten style letters for my business, and I am SO GLAD I did. This machine allows me to work on other aspects of my business while it writes out my direct mail pieces. You do have to be around to put the next page and hit go, but it is so much less time-consuming than doing it myself, and miles cheaper than hiring it out. I had not used Inkscape before, or any kind of machine like this, so it took me some time to learn to use it.

Tinu Balaji – 05/03/2021

The quality of the product is excellent, but the software is not beginner-friendly

T Anandhakrishnan – 15/12/2021

The pen up and down servo motor stopped working after 4 months of use, and when I contacted maker q they told me that there is only 3 months warranty for the machine, so I paid for the servo motor (250 rs). After replacing the servo motor the machine is working fine.

Adeel Khan – 30/12/2021

Sureddy Narendra – 08/01/2022

Software is crap and it won’t work on Mac

ANIK DAS – 19/01/2022

This thing is perfect! i does what it say it will do. I wanted it for drawings and it does it perfectly its just trying to figure out the software. Trail and error is all i have to say and plenty of YouTube videos hahaha it pretty much can draw anything.

rakesh kumar – 28/01/2022

thank you very much

The parcel came unharmed and satisfied with the order

Shinto John – 12/02/2022

1st time having a calligraphy machine and I love it. Took me a while to figure out how things work, but seller provides prompt support. Plus, I recommend watching tutorials on Inks-cape on you-tube if you are not already familiar.

gaurav biswas – 25/02/2022

Takes a second to figure out but once you do its gold. I use it for marketing

Rajesh K – 27/02/2022

when I opened the box one of the motor sides is broken and I contacted customer support they shipped a replacement part and refunded 400 RS. but it took a total of 12 days from the day of ordering the machine and finally being able to use the machine. Response for the maker q side is good and fast, that’s the only reason am giving 3 star

Alwin KJ – 21/04/2022
