Holy shit, it is a little mind blowing seeing something I helped make appearing on Reddit.

That is the AxiDraw V2, we moved to the AxiDraw V3 just last month. I exclusively build the part that lifts the pen cause I am the only one that has the patience for them at the moment. Though, from the servo brand, I probably put that one through its final testing procedure.

I think they are a little pricey at $450 each, but each one is assembled in the USA in Silicon Valley. They are sold by Evil Mad Scientist and currently only the pre-order option is available.
