A brushless pen-lift servo upgrade is available for most AxiDraw V3 and AxiDraw SE series pen plotters. It offers a greater durability, speed, and lifting strength versus both the standard (Tower Pro SG-90) pen-lift servo motor and the coreless servo upgrade option. It also includes a spring kit, providing the option for applying downforce with pens.
Purchase the upgrade for a compatible AxiDraw[edit]
The upgrade kits are available for purchase At Bantam Tools.
- If your AxiDraw has a silver-colored pen-lift servo mount, purchase the version that includes the servo mount.
- Prior to purchase, check the information on that page to confirm compatibility with your AxiDraw.
- If your AxiDraw has a black-colored pen-lift servo mount, you can purchase the version without the servo mount.
- Again; prior to purchase, check the information on that page to confirm compatibility with your AxiDraw.
Upgrade instructions[edit]
Installation instructions are available here (16 MB PDF file).
These instructions include:
- Full installation instructions for the upgrade
- Usage instructions for the brushless servo upgrade
- An appendix with instructions for replacing the rolling wheel on the lift arm and calibrating the lift arm position.
- An appendix with use instructions for the spring kit.
Spring kit[edit]
The brushless upgrade includes a spring kit, which gives the option to provide downward force when writing. Instructions for using the spring are available here.
