Hello everyone

Firstly thank you to Sandy for his great work,

I received my polargraph two weeks ago and I started with my first drawings, I do a lot of adjustments and tests for the moment, to find the right settings.

Here are the first drawings :
- statue of liberty (norwegian pixel + scribble)
- a skull (homemade vector file)

I had a problem with the servo that worked only the first few days, it works but practically no responds to C13 and C14 controls, I think there is a problem with the potentiometer (?). That does not stop me from trying other drafting standards (norvegian pixel and scribble).

Also, when I selected the "sawtooth" standard in the application, it does not seem to be shaping the image I chose (?)

Visible distortions in the drawings are due to the settings of the machine (I have to set the parameters and stepsPerRev stepmultiplier on my polargraph (thank you to contributors to the forum posts which helped me find the solution)

The quality of photography is low, I do not have much light to take pictures and I use a very fine pen for drawing.

Hi,

For the moment I use the norvegian pixel for my drawings and I cut the edges with a paper trimmer, so I do not use the servo.

My first "big" achievement:

13 hours of work (I still have not adjusted the settings stepsPerRev and stepmultiplier). I use a low-end fine pen that works great.

I hesitate to add heat sinks on my stepper motors, the temperature is very important and it is an inexpensive investment.
