A brushless pen-lift servo upgrade is available for most AxiDraw V3 and 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.

Purchase the upgrade for a compatible AxiDraw

The upgrade kits are available for purchase At Evil Mad Scientist.

• 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.
