    Software for the AxiDraw drawing machine

  • I bought an Axidraw recently and its been great, its a fairly robust device. Plotting quality has been great, although it takes some learning on how to use it. They also take care to use non-proprietary firmware, and publishes it as open source: https://github.com/evil-mad/axidraw

  • +1 for the AxiDraw. The author does link to this page: https://github.com/beardicus/awesome-plotters which has some good AxiDraw resources.

    I became much happier with my setup when I switched to running the AxiDraw from a Raspberry Pi using Saxi: https://github.com/nornagon/saxi
