Cheap & Quick PCB, 3D Printing, CNC machining, and fabrication services from PCBWay pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Drawing_Robot_Board_Polargraph_Plotter_fe55b93b.html - I will show you how to build and use a plotter to draw vector or polar plotter images in this project. A polar graph machine uses two centered coordinates to generate drawings using a pen suspended on belts attached to two pulleys above the drawing surface. I will start this project by first printing the necessary 3D parts and building the structure of the plotter, and then I will continue with the electronics and software part later in the project.
