$700 USD for a AxiDraw V3/A3 doesn't seem too crazy. This is precision, purpose-built equipment.

Are you able to elaborate on what you were expecting or hoping for?




It's pretty crazy if it's just to generate some pictures for fun, especially when there are alternatives. I have an A3 flatbed Graphtec plotter with a precision of 0.01mm [1] that I got for something like NZD$40 (>20 years old, but perfect condition).

[1] Not a typo, but I don't have a way to check it. I use it in its "low accuracy" 0.025mm mode.


Yeah wait till they see what CNC machines cost!
