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

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.

Yes. I would need to increase the weight on the pen too, though.

Smaller counterweight may work as well. Can take or add to either side of the equation.

I feel they’re too light already 😅
