      If David implements a 6 axis delta firmware, it will definitly be my next 3D printer! For now, I'm working on my 2 axis tilt bed in order to print portions of sphere (https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/10934/5-axis-3d-printing).

        @NitroFreak Thanks for the videos. I can add diabase to the list (https://www.diabasemachines.com/home) they use Duet to achieve 5 axis but in a different way.

        More generally if the slicer was able to output X Y Z U V W, where U, V and W are the other three axis (e.g. a tilting/rotating bed) then there is no change required or special kinematics. If you want X Y Z A B C where A,B and C are the tool head rotations, then also no issues in RRF.

        What do you mean by "sinusoidal G2/G3 computing", in this case? surely to implement G2/G3 in this case you would need to define an arc center in each axis that the arc would move on?

        In general tool path generation is going to be an issue. Not just the path in 5 or 6 axis but also a path that avoids collisions with parts of the object already printed.

          This is really cool!
          Wonder if it wil make it to the home/hobbyist scene.

          If you think trial and error is dangerous, try routine. That's even more so!

            Did anyone tried this non-planar-Slic3r edition? I can't get something out of it, just messy G-Code...

              @dc42... Do you think this can be implemented in Duet?

              These movement, requires especial slicer and firmware?

                It only needs special slicer. No changes in firmware needed

                  And that's what is exciting about it, as vs. prior efforts: It is available in a "mainstream" slicer.

                      Before everyone gets the underwear too messed up with excitement...

                      There is a possible issue of this already having being patented by another company which might stop it being used freely............

                            and how different is this than a hexapod with 5 axis?

                            sounds like someone is trying to patent the ESC key again

                              Are you sure this will stop us for non commercial use?

                                @fma I had the same idea, and a question: how about building a DIY 3D printer with patented technology and then printing and selling 3D printed parts in a shop. Is this allowed?

                                            I am not a lawyer, but I looked into the patend and saw it was abandoned in 2015, and there is an article https://smallbusiness.chron.com/patents-abandoned-65186.html explaining when a patent was abandoned, it can be used. A commecial produced product between abondent and new status active needs not to pay fees. 0_1567574389685_abandoned.jpg But as I said, I have little patent knowledge.
