Following in the footsteps of the original AxiDraw, the AxiDraw Mini functions much the same, but with the following exceptions:

• It’s a kit. It’s made with excellent quality materials & documentation, so putting it together yourself saves you some money and gives you a fun afternoon putting it together yourself
• It’s smaller. It draws on a smaller 150x100mm (~6×4″) footprint, and is more compact, storable, and transportable than a standard AxiDraw.

Other than that, you use the same software and methodologies as with the full-size AxiDraw. That means it still is cross-platform compatible using Inkscape on Windows, Mac or Linux.

The Kit Includes:

• All the parts to construct the AxiDraw MiniKit writing and drawing machine.
