Hey @dc42, Thanks for the question. We are not using 0.9d motors nor segmentation-free algoithm. We break each and every line into multiple segments. For each segment we calculate the inverse kinematic and then motor will follow the inverse kinematic to move in the particular segment. This is similar to most deltas.by francis_regan - General New Machines Topics
Dear Realthor, My apologies, I had missed out on the posts from this forum. Yes we had patented the design of this machine in Singapore last year including other variants such as rotating table, rotating tower etc. But after a lot of careful considerations, we have decided to open-source our invention so others can contribute and improve Kappa as well. In the following weeks, I'll prepare allby francis_regan - General New Machines Topics
Dear martinprice2004, I am extremely sorry that I missed out on your message. I checked my emails and did notice the notification from rep-rap mailer, but it slipped my notice. We would love to share the 3D printed design of Kappa on the rep-rap community so people can contribute and improve on it. When we made the first prototype, we realized that there could be a potential problem of rigidiby francis_regan - General New Machines Topics
Hey Guys, my name is Regan and I'm based out of Singapore. For the past one year, my team and I have been working on a new style of 3D printer inspired from Scott Russell Kinematics also known as straight line mechanism. Fast forward to May 2016 and we were well into research and development on a Car Washing project. While on the project we stumbled across the idea on using the similar designby francis_regan - General New Machines Topics
