I realized one of the best attack vectors is to measure with how much force the filament is pushed into the hot end! After all you all may have noticed (heard) extruders skipping steps if the distance to the bed or a previously printed surface was too small. I suspect that by means of a strain gauge or piezo disc a printed element that connects the hot end and the extruder can be equiped to offerby usertogo - General

Yes I was thinking that if I started with a conventional stationary build plate and just added a rotational axis (Turntable) the object printed would have the least adhesion problems due to load changes. Then I would have a Z lifted COREXY platform which could either: - have a have a printhead that has just one added axis which could point the head Backward down and maybe also forward. In this coby usertogo - Developers
I have been thinking about it for a long time from CNC Mast Winder to 5 Axis Printing I am pretty sure the hardware as well as the controller firmware can be implemented with available RepRap Open Source projects... Just my knowledge about the Slicer/CAM integration is lacking, and I can't imagine finding the time to write something from scrach... So I would like to hear ideas how existing soluby usertogo - Developers
If you ever thought about what consciousness even is, you might have come across the idea that it implies knowing what is out there and responding appropriately... For example if you want to fill a glass with water from a jar - it helps to see where the glass is, when you reach the point the water starts flowing and when the glass is as full as you wish. Imagine you wanted to do that while you hby usertogo - General
