Comment on Made a polargraph with leftover parts from a Prusa i3 MK3.9 upgrade

It’s how they do it inside of machines as far as I’ve seen.

I still feel the distance they travel will stay the same. Except if I use a gear train.

Using #4 would allow you to move the pen 40cm for every 10cm of counterweight travel.

Ah yes, different sized pulleys would work the same as the gear train I had in mind. Thanks for the explanation!

Likely number 2 would be enough, would double the distance itself. You just need to attach it to the same corner bracket and have a pulley with the weight under it.
