The RotBot is a 4-axis 3D printer that allows printing completely horizontal overhangs without any support structure. Let me show you how it works, how you slice part for it, and what the limitations of the technology are. And the best thing is, that the Toolhead, as well as the slicing scripts, are fully open-source! Let’s find out more.

What do you think about the RotBot and Conical Slicing? Niche application or the next evolution of 3D printing!
4D printer
This was a truly great video, you made the complex Sclicing understandable for the masses.
Stefan, did you see this 7 axis printer? It has the software solved too

Das Beste an der Metote zu drucken ist, das man keine StΓΌtzstruktur mehr benΓΆtigt! Deswegen fΓ€nde ich es cool wenn diese Technik bald fΓΌr Privatanwender verfΓΌgbar wΓ€re! Zum Beispiel wΓ€re es doch schΓΆn, einen Prusa Mk4 mit der 4 Achsentechnik kaufen zu kΓΆnnen!
Dieses Thema finde ich sehr interessant und werde es weiter verfolgen! π
I've always thought about doing this with a delta and varying the arms to tilt the head. Don't know enough how to make that happen.

Comment
For many rotational symetric parts this would be huge.
For phucks sake, just as I thought things are settling down some bastard decides to phuck my life up by introducing new upgrade paths. π€£
With that technology; they could probably build a creator robot. And if the same robot can recycle materials making it's own filaments; probably could transform objects.
The possibilities seems endless.
do you think you could use a regular 3d printer and bridge a very tiny distance over the edge and then wipe the nozzle to the inside, and then go again a bit over the edge then wipe again, this could work without supports, someone needs to experiment with this
Is there a program that I can use to create modified gcode that's easy to use because I want to test a new bridging technique
Interesting ! I would love to see you make a video of the Open5x project, it looks like the most credible/exciting open source 5-axis 3D printing project to date. Looks really promising.
yes !! nice one, this is the future of FDP 3d printing.
Check out this 5-Axis 3D printer:

Finally the Switchwire belted Z-Axis makes sense..
My only comment is not using c as the axis code, u is used for incremental movements on the c axis in other cnc applications, a little confusing, but probably not a big deal
Mini CNC at homeeee finallyyyyy
I would love to see them print some of your test parts so we could see how much of a strength improvement it might make.
This is insane!! ππ It's like an anet A8 printer with a 6 axis robot arm! This one little mashine that thinks it can brings all my hope up for mankind
Can't wait to further mod my ender 3 ahaha
Amazing! is it possible that printed parts with this method are stronger? because of the way the lines are printed. You could make a test comparing regular 3d prints vs non planar, I am curious specially if the layer bonding problem can be solved at least for some geometries
In Switzerland π€―π¨ππ¨ππ¨π
where are you originaly from?
ima say that is not supposed to be u axis but c
Why don't you print a 3D printer out of 3D printer
if this becomes viable, adding this one stepper motor 360Β° on top of ur extruder will be the best upgrade, make this happen for prusa and ender creality.
I hope it will be implemented in mainstream machines. Having a 3D printer with multi axis rotation would be awesome!
I think the head is too big and will get in the way too much for this to really become a thing as-is, but it's amazing work towards a future version of itself that doesn't have that problem.
I also think the non-planar slicing could very well become a thing that slicers support natively because it seems like it just has a ton of applications, even if it's a pain to calculate. It might not be automatic, though… The designer might have to give hints to the slicer on how to deal with the topology of the slice in particular areas.
Wait.. the slip ring allows complete infinite rotation? Or just 360 degrees? I mean either is great but the complexity for infinite rotation is high no? Awesome video thanks
Amazing!
