Midwest RepRap Festival 2023

@T3P3Tony that is awesome. Did they implement their own firmware?
Custom Core-XY
-
I have no clue what I am looking at. What the heck is going on there?
-
@jens55 5 axis printing
-
Very excited to see everyone there!
-
@samlogan87 nope this is running stock RRF. Hopefully i will be able to use the @JoergS5 branch soon though.
-
@T3P3Tony exciting possibilities ahead. I have been redesigning my bed arrangement to allow tilting in hope in the future firmware will allow it. I can get almost 45 degrees tilt at the moment
-
@samlogan87 biggest gap is a reasonable slicer to generate G-Code.
-
@oliof Yeap I agree and unfortunately for myself, it is way over my head. Will have to sit back and wait
-
@samlogan87 I have some hopes for kiri:moto as that already supports 4 axis CNC machines, so it wouldn't be completely new ground. Someone would need to convince Stewart that that's a good use of his time. Or write GCode with FullControl ...

@oliof will have to look into it. It will be interesting to see what implementations people will support, whether it be tilting bed or a full 5 axis cnc setup
-
@oliof I did chat to Stewart about this at ERRF last year. it is very cool that Kiri:moto already has 4 axis for CNC
I also think that the term "slicer" is probably not how we want to think about using the combination of multi axis and non planar (like what Michael Wüthrich is doing with 90 degree overhangs by printing at an angle). "toolpath generation" is a bit long winded but more accurate. In some cases the approach of slicing in layers may be fine but in many cases layers are just not appropriate.
