6.2 The AxiDraw User Guide

The AxiDraw User Guide is the comprehensive reference

to AxiDraw operation. While primarily oriented towards

the AxiDraw V3 and other larger models that come pre-as-

sembled, it contains a wealth of knowledge about AxiDraw

family machines and how to use them from bare basics to

advanced topics.

You can download the AxiDraw User Guide at:

https://axidraw.com/guide

6.3 Special considerations for MiniKit

While the vast majority of the main AxiDraw User Guide is

applicable to the MiniKit, there are several key differences

that you should be aware of.

6.3.1 Pause button

The pause button on AxiDraw MiniKit is located directly on

the EBB driver board, and is labeled “PRG”. It is in the same

physical location as on other models (left side of the ma-

chine, behind the USB connector), but does not have the

separate cover and button.

6.3.2 Home corner

The Home corner of the machine is labeled by the AxiDraw

MiniKit logo, by the left-hand motor. The carriage is in the

Home corner when it is moved fully back and left, such that

the pen holder is as close as possible to the AxiDraw Mini-

Kit logo.
