And the software - both the firmware and the slicer.

but it takes a bit longer as I have to generate all the code manually (or is there already a slicer for 5 axis 3d printers ??? )

Awesome, much fun to watch it rotate

I would like to see how you have your mechanics configured.

Clever implementation, I like it

In college I started with punch cards, then paper tape, then programming gcode-mcode on a console, so I appreciate the effort that you have put into your project. Hopefully one of the slicer gurus will find interest in your endeavor, and sort it out!

Not knowing what you design intent is..... I'm wondering if the Y-axis is causing the issue, or the Y-axis and the parallelogram interaction. Are you printing planer sections in an arc, or are you trying to print a segmented arc?

@Fabricate: Awesome! I have a student working on a 5DOF slicer or more specifically a non-planar slicer to be used with the Sextupteron.
On a side note: I am contemplating making a program that will take an STL and perform a transformation so that it can be used with standard slicers. (Essentially, it would make the nonplanar layers planar.) The program would need a second part that could perform the inverse transformation on the gcode.

The perimeters could be slice in seperation similar to sparce infill, with infill being sliced as a somewhat seperate entity, filling based upon shape rather than perimeter layer.

Two Sextupterons are slated to be completed in October.

The slicer is only in the geometry acquisition stage right now. It will accept two main parameters: max angle of nozzle relative to the print surface normal and max angle of nozzle relative to the bed normal. I don't know if it will be generalized to deal with 4D printing. It also won't worry about bridging and anti-aliasing the top surfaces at first. It will only worry about increasing allowable overhangs.

Wahou ! That s Nice ! How do you manage the fourth axis in the firmware ?

Thank you for your hint Robin!Quote

Don't forget you now have the potential to collide the head with previously printed material ... hasn't the definition of "printable" just got a lot more complicated?
Good stuff though!
Cheers,
Robin.

I know Repetier can have 5 extruders, I don't know anything about programming them as axis.
Also looks like aprinter can add axis "easily."
