A new pen plotter design that doesn't occupy much space and works on polar coordinates.
The idea came to me as I participated in Mark Rober's Creative Engineering Class. I liked the idea of describing points in space with polar coordinates. So I thought it would be fun to create a plotter that would visually show the "effect".
I faced many challenges since I built the initial prototype, and gladly so because now I have a whole arsenal of new skills that will most definitely be incredibly useful for the upcoming projects. I'm one step closer to a well rounded engineer.
Good project, for sure a lot of challenges. Good idea to put it on a desk corner.
I made also a polar pen plotter prototype - my intention was to make a very cheap and minimal plotter - but with the intention to make it easy scaleable - all points are valid for your ideas , too . Congratulations.
I wrote my own Arduino Software and graphic functions etc.
You can find the following videos of it on Youtube under my name 'dmemos'
