Plot designs onto cups with CylinDraw
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — January 18th, 2022 Most plotters are planar, meaning they move in a single plane — though they often have the ability to move the tool up and down in the third axis. But if you convert one axis of the drawing plane into rotation, you get cylindrical plotting. That…
