    Jack of all trades master of none, because I get bored easily. Let me shake your hand, same here. My channel shows that much as well. I’ve had several careers: musician, hardware engineer, software engineer, mentalist/stage hypnotist, TV and film special effects, TV and film Visual effects and back in IT, because bills here in the Netherlands are insane so you need a good income stream. But my true passion is free wheeling new ideas. Just like you! Love the channel, big sub!

    Awesome project. The footprint of a polar plotter is so much smaller than that of a normal plotter - it just makes so much sense!

      It does look good on the table, and it helps me keep it tidy for whenever I want to make a drawing :D

    I'm currently working on the 'engineering' part of a rubik cube solver (software part largely finished). Completely clueluess about engineering principles and going through a lot of trial and error. That Mark Rober course on engineering principles might just be what I need.
    Anyway, really interesting video, and I appreciate the details, including the failure points prior to the successful build; really useful.

    • @esser50k
      @esser50k  2 месяца назад +1

      The hardware is also the toughest part for me atm, iterations are much slower compared to software!
      Thanks for the sub man, hope you like the new video series too

      you can do it! I wouldn't go for something as custom as I did though. There are plenty of open source resources and software to build a typical XY plotter that will perform more reliably

  • @DanielSimu
    @DanielSimu Год назад +2

    Ohh, nice space saving design of a plotter! I wonder what the accuracy is, have you tried to measure this? I can imagine it's very different from close to the pivot than far from it. And perhaps its better at arcs than at straight lines? Those are the kind of things I'd be curious about if you do a follow up :)

    • @esser50k
      @esser50k  Год назад +1

      It doesn’t tend do drift off, but I’ll definitely include some tests!
      There were many more problems I solved that I just couldn’t address in this video yet :) thanks for the suggestion

    • @DanielSimu
      @DanielSimu Год назад

      @@esser50k it's not so much drift that I expected (your encoder solves that), but I imagine there has to be some slack, that is magnified further out?

    • @esser50k
      @esser50k  Год назад

      @@DanielSimu I see what you're saying! The stepper motor is running with 32x microstepping. So it is actually incredibly precise even when moving further out, but that's just my impression from looking at the drawings. I'll definitely test that hipothesis

    • @DanielSimu
      @DanielSimu Год назад

      ​@@esser50k makes sense! I somehow had convinced myself that the stepper was in the encoder axis, despite already having seen that that was not the case. With your setup you probably indeed get incredibly high precision, assuming that you can correct well for any slipping. Nice job!

      A couple of them 😅 I’m using python for the backend and the path generation things. The microncontroller code is in C++ but it’s mostly simple stuff. The UI uses typescript
