Refurbished AxiDraw V3 | Handwriting Bundle

The Refurbished AxiDraw Handwriting Bundle with Refurbished AxiDraw V3 includes everything you need to create realistic, computer-automated handwritten notes, documents, cards, and more—right out of the box. At the core of the bundle is a professionally refurbished AxiDraw V3 pen plotter, upgraded and tested to meet modern performance standards. It’s a compact and precise machine ideal for 8.5" × 11" or A4 media, offering a reliable entry point into automated handwriting and drawing.

The refurbished AxiDraw V3 features your choice of a coreless or brushless pen-lift upgrade, enabling fast, consistent pen motion with reduced wear and quieter operation. It supports a wide variety of tools—from fine liners and fountain pens to pressure-based ballpoint pens, markers, and even brushes. The extended drawing head allows it to write or draw on surfaces larger than the machine itself, like packaging, signage, or chalkboards.

To ensure your work stays securely in place, the bundle includes the Letter/A4 size Magnetic Easel. Made from heavy-duty, powder-coated magnetic steel, the easel provides a stable, non-slip surface for plotting. It comes with removable indexing rulers and six cylindrical magnets for precise paper alignment, while also safeguarding your pens from impact mid-plot.

The bundle also includes a license for the Bantam Tools NextDraw™ Merge Software. This intuitive application lets you personalize documents at scale by automatically merging names, addresses, or custom text into your files—maintaining a handwritten look without the manual labor.

Altogether, the bundle provides a powerful, flexible solution for artists, educators, and businesses looking to automate and elevate their handwriting workflows with a trusted, refurbished machine.
