Brushless Servo
From Evil Mad Scientist Wiki
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
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.
