3D printing has finally broken away from cartesian 3-axis in a way that makes sense. Designed from the ground up, not a rotating bolt-on print head. Unlimited overhangs, offboard part cooling fan via an air compressor, and open source with slicer included 😲

Source video: Joshua Bird on Youtube. This is the most promising non-planar design I've seen yet.

This is great, I love this. I want to build this, except I want to mount a airbrush to it and use it to paint 40k minis. Do you think this is possible?

Ooh this is a great layout. I should really draw up a clean version of my old Praxis design and open source that sometime. It’s worse than this for real 5 axis but for 3+2 it’s zippy fast. Turntable bed on a beefy Z stage, YBX gantry on top, IE the whole X gantry tilts.

It could be tweaked further, e.g. mounting the extruder motor on the Z acid will help slim up the extruder further, but this is an insane first release.

We need a proper 5 axis software for additive that’s open source , this is so cool

Can you add multiple heads printing in parallel?

this is VERY exciting

Operation "distributed manufacturing". Let's go!

@PrintsandtheRev Bruh we’re going to have 7 axis 3D printers soon. Aren’t we?

added to Timeline, thanks.
