iDraw H SE A3 Vorgefertigter Pen Plotter für Generative Kunst, Kreatives Coding & Präzises Zeichnen

Having studied the pen plotter market for my first machine I decided on the iDraw A3 HSE. After ordering it took a few days for the machine to be readied for dispatch and I received an email saying it would be with me in the UK in around a week but somehow, to my amazement, it arrived the next day!
It was very well packaged and only needed a few cables plugging in to get going. The build quality is great and construction looks very good plus it��s nice and sturdy. I��ve only plotted on A4 paper so far but have found the bed to be perfectly flat.
It��s really accurate and fast if you want it to be. As with all pen plotters it��s mesmerising to watch.
Being new to pen plotting there��s a lot to learn but there��s a wealth of resources online waiting to be found. I couldn��t get a particular function to work (hidden line removal) but UUNATEK were great and helped me find a solution and now I can do it. There are only a couple of things I��d like to change on it - an on/off button would be nice and, as far as I can see, you can��t use the full A3 area if using an angled pen.
Overall, this is a fantastic pen plotter and I��m really impressed with it.

I have used a cutting plotter before, and have 3D printed some parts so I could also have it do pen plotting. It's less than ideal but gave me a taste of what was possible. I also found the required cutting plotter software frustrating and limited, for example, it could not directly use an SVG file without a tedious multi-step conversion process.

From the start, the iDraw H SE has proven itself to be much better suited for my needs. I do most of my work in Inkscape already, so being able to plot directly without having to switch programs and export/import files is a huge improvement.

The device is also clearly designed to be modified, and I already have some ideas for it: I want to be able to have it hold a calligraphy pen in the same way as a human hand. I can already angle the pen, but I also need that angle to be rotated. For now, I work around this by rotating the drawing in Inkscape and the paper. But in future, I could design something, have it 3D-printed and then simply screw it in place. All that matters is that the screw holes align neatly, it's so simple!

Shipping was pretty fast: package was dispatched from Hong Kong 2 days after I placed the order, and then took 14 days to arrive in the Netherlands. The device came fully assembled and ready to use.

Software was a matter of making sure Inkscape is up-to-date and then dropping some plug-in files into the right folder, as explained in the documentation.

There's perhaps more of a learning curve than with hobbyist devices like the cutting plotter I used before, but that is to be expected when using something for power users and professionals.

The other criticism I have is the price. It's very expensive compared to a cutting plotter. I was able to find plenty of reviews and video walkthroughs of the device, giving me a very good idea what I would get. A minute of searching got me a very good discount code for the device, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Now that I've used it, I'm definitely keeping it.

Attached is a timelapse video of one of the first things I did with the plotter, which was making holiday cards to send out!

This is my first plotter and I cannot say enough good things about it. It arrived perfectly and setup was a breeze, it just took 15 minutes and everything has been working great ever since. I'm really happy with it. The support is also excellent!

This is the second pen plotter I have owned, and I am thoroughly impressed with the upgrade in quality. The iDraw H SE (A3) feels incredibly solid and the operation is smooth and stable. As the title says, the precision is excellent; it handles complex vector files and fine lines without any issues.

Setting it up was straightforward, and it fits perfectly into my existing Inkscape workflow. If you are looking for a reliable machine that produces consistent, high-quality results, I highly recommend this one. I absolutely love it.

I have been using the iDraw H SE A3 for some time now, and I can say it is a very successful tool for creativity and experimentation. The device turned out to be quite easy to set up. After installing the software, everything works stably. I mainly prepare vector files in Inkscape and then send them to the plotter. The workflow is clear and logical, even for beginners.

The construction feels solid: a metal frame, smooth motion and good line accuracy. The plotter confidently works with different pens and markers, which is convenient for calligraphy, illustration and generative art. I have used it to draw patterns, lettering and educational projects. I especially enjoy watching digital ideas turn into neat drawings on paper. A great choice for artists, designers and techno-art enthusiasts.
