Yeah, a square in that case would be about 8.57 degrees ;) You just need 42 squares instead of 36 ;)

Nice find. Thanks, Phill! :D

I'll point out that the pin path must be at least 3mm in width.

Here's my pretty simple setup for mapping. Works quite well. Works a bit better with a pen as they are heavier than a pencil and ink transfers a bit darker than pencil.

Basic, but if it works it works! :D

I'm still impressed by James Dalgety's creation:

Thanks for that picture, I like that setup very much!

The 'auto map' technique I used completely changed the way I visualized the maze and turned my focus from feeling and thinking my way through to just following the pencil along the path as already drawn. I was not particularly fond of the change. Time to begin working on something new!
