The AxiDraw's pen holder normally holds a pen (or other instrument) either vertically or at 45° from vertical. The Pen clip rotation stage is a lightweight adapter allows you to mount the instrument at arbitrary angles, and fine-tune that angle over a range of 90 degrees with a precision of 1 degree.This adapter is not normally needed in general writing and drawing usage. However certain precision applications of the AxiDraw – particularly those using the AxiDraw as a general purpose XY motion control stage – may find this to be helpful. Some users have also found it useful for fine-tuning the angle that a pen is mounted at when using italic or chisel-tip pens in combination with the Italic pen adapter.You can attach the rotation stage to the front face of the AxiDraw in two orientations, vertical or at 45° from vertical. These orientations, along with the 90°adjustment range, allow you to either adjust between vertical and horizontal, or between vertical and ±45° from vertical. Two small thumbscrews and an engraved bezel allow you to make adjustments and set the angle.Specifications
Material: Anodized 6061-T6 aluminum
Size: Outer radius 64 mm, height 48 mm, thickness 4.6 mm (excluding mounting hardware)
Weight: Approximately 11 g
Mounting hardware: included (2 each M3 flat head cap screws, M2 socket cap screws w/washers, 1.5 mm hex wrench)
CompatibilityThis adapter is compatible only with AxiDraw V3 family pen plotters that mount the pen on a 2-hole vertical slide. This includes all AxiDraw SE/A3, AxiDraw V3/A3 and AxiDraw V3 XLX units, and all AxiDraw V3 units manufactured after February 2017.
The AxiDraw's pen holder normally holds the pen parallel to the front face of the vertical pen slide, either vertically or at 45° from vertical.
This heavy-gauge aluminum adapter sits between the front face of the vertical slide and the pen clip, and serves to rotate the pen tip an additional 45°, not from vertical but out from parallel to the front face of the vertical slide. This gives the AxiDraw the ability to hold a pen in a 'right handed' grip, as opposed to the normal 'center-handed' (for lack of a better description) position.
The right-handed grip makes it possible to hold the pen at a consistent angle suitable for use with regular pens, but also stub, italic, parallel, and chisel-point pens.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible only with AxiDraw V3 family pen plotters that mount the pen on a 2-hole vertical slide. This includes all AxiDraw V3/A3 and AxiDraw V3 XLX units, and all AxiDraw V3 units manufactured after February 2017.
This pair of extended 'outrigger' feet for AxiDraw V3 and AxiDraw V3 XLX consists of a pair of machined aluminum struts with large 1/2' diameter (12 mm) rubber foot pads set securely in recesses. It greatly increases the effective base area of the AxiDraw, making it much more stable when plotting, and capable of carrying heavier tools without worry of tipping over. In addition to providing a larger footprint, the outrigger feet also provide four mounting holes that make it easier to secure your AxiDraw to a surface, should you choose to do so. Each foot strut has two top-side accessible #8/M4 clearance holes. Installation is straightforward: Remove the two screws that hold the standard foot plates to the bottom of the AxiDraw, and attach these struts in their place with the included screws. Compatible with: AxiDraw V3 AxiDraw V3 XLX
This rigid end effector plate is designed to be in place of the standard AxiDraw pen-lift Z stage, and provides an alternative mounting scheme for mounting various things to the end of the AxiDraw's arm, for applications where greater rigidity is important but the lifting ability of the standard Z stage is not required.
The rigid end effector is custom machined from aluminum, and provides six M3 tapped holes and two M4 tapped holes for mounting what ever it is that you would like to mount to the end of the AxiDraw, to use it as a 2D robot arm. The hole pattern is compatible with the AxiDraw pen clip, so you can, if you like, mount the AxiDraw's pen clip to this end effector.
Installation is straightforward, but requires a Pozidrive PZ2 screwdriver, not included*. Remove the AxiDraw's pen clip, and then remove the pen-lift Z stage by removing two screws with the PZ2 screwdriver. Install the rigid end effector plate in its place, using the two included mounting screws and the PZ2 screwdriver. You may wish to also tie back or fully remove the AxiDraw's cable guides, which normally extend to power the pen-lift stage.

The tripod adapter is custom machined from a solid block of aluminum, and provides two standard tripod mounting points with 3/8-16 and light-duty 1/4-20 thread respectively. This allows you to mount the AxiDraw to a tripod, should you have reason to do so.
We would highly recommend using a sturdy tripod with a 3/8-16 connection point and appropriate counterweight (sand bag, lifting weights, etc) to balance the weight of the AxiDraw while in use.
Installation is straightforward, and does not require any tools other than those included with AxiDraw: Remove the existing foot pads from the AxiDraw (either standard or outrigger feet, depending on model) and attach this plate to the captured nuts in the bottom surface of the AxiDraw. For AxiDraw SE/A3 (April 2019 and newer), the tripod adapter attaches directly to tapped holes in the base of the machine.
This heavy-duty tripod adapter is compatible with AxiDraw V3, AxiDraw V3/A3 and AxiDraw V3 XLX. It is also compatible with AxiDraw SE/A3 manufactured in April 2019 and newer.
