I don’t see any fundamental reason why it shouldn’t work.  However, the SVG files that StippleGen produces are saved in “EggBot ready” format — that is, on a page of size 3200×800 pixels. That normally works out to 35.5 x 8.9 inches — larger than the WaterColorBot’s printable area. 

 If it seems like it’s trying to draw beyond the printable area, it probably is, and what you’ll need to do is to resize the SVG file to fit within the printable area.  The method to do this is different in RoboPaint and Inkscape.  In RoboPaint use the “fit content” button.  If you are using Inkscape, there is no automatic resize option that works well, but I’d suggest opening up a new WaterColorBot template and importing the SVG file to that document– then you can see how big the drawing will be, and resize it and drag it where you want it to print.
