The Bantam Tools NextDraw 2234 Pen Plotter (A1) is a computer-controlled plotter that offers a versatile solution for artists, innovators, and educators.

The device boasts a significant speed increase due to updated firmware and a brushless pen lift motor. It features an auto-homing function for improved ease of use and a sturdy electronics enclosure with an easily accessible on-off switch, hardware pause, and reset buttons, along with built-in cable strain relief. The central beam, machined from billet 6061 aluminum, ensures tight tolerances, increased precision, and added weight for greater stability.
