multiaxis's Introduction

multiaxis

follow THIS GUIDANCE DOCUMENT to convert a prusa i3 to a 4-axis printer AND use FullControl to generate 4-axis gcode directly within the guide!

A 5-axis addon is described here


think beyond 'normal' 3D printing


repo information:

open-source multiaxis 3D printing capabilities developed as part of FullControl research with support from Duet3D and undertaken by engineering students (Renush Vigneswaran and Nathanael Hogg) at Loughborough University

if you follow the guide, please let us know :) ... email [email protected]

it links to 5-axis and multi-tool revisions of the 4-axis version

multiaxis toolpath design demos are provided in FullControl documentation

current naming convention (may change in the future):

  • X Y Z [i][0/1] [ii][0/1] ...
    • i/ii/... = rotation axes (X=A, Y=B, Z=C)
    • 0/1 indicates whether the stated axis rotates the print-platform/tool respectively
    • axes are listed in the order: X then Y then Z (omit X/Y/Z if not present) then print-platform-rotation axes (0-axes), then tool-rotation axes (1-axes)
      • for multiple directly connected rotation axes, a sequence of parent-child dependency is used: a rotating print-platform (C0) attached onto a tilting stage (A0) would be A0C0 (C is dependent on A)

multiaxis's Issues

Motor Bracket Front Hole Alignment Issue

Firstly, huge congrats on a fabulous project!

When assembling the Motor Bracket Front to the gearbox I found that it was tricky to get the fixing holes lined up and was concerned that I might cross thread / damage the threads. As the gearbox is already concentrically aligned by the step detail in the bracket you could increase the diameter of the fixing thru holes to eliminate this issue. Cheers, Neal

3d printers compatibility

I have read your work on converting the Prusa MK3S to have a 4th-axis printer. That is really impressive!
I would like to ask if other types of Prusa printers or printers from other brands would work as well?

Regards,
Prumnea

Adding a new rotary axis!

I am very interested in your 4-axis printer, I would like to make a similar 5-axis printer, and the difference with your project is that I try to add two rotary axes in the print head, is there any related firmware support or tutorial document, thank you very much!

Using an alternative controller board

Questions by email:

Hello, I am currently following your mod for the 4th axis for the prusa and I have few questions.

  1. any board that works on reprap with more than 6 steppers should work? XY2ZEB considering that the board I am thinking to use is having 7 steppers, i am currently can't get my hands on the duet mini 5+ because it is really expensive to get in my country, and importing it myself will be expensive as well.
  2. there is any alternative for the nema11 with gearbox? as far I understand you want to use nema11 for it light weight uses and the gearbox to get higher torque?
    I can't somehow get my hands on it and thought maybe I could get my hands on different one?
    I can order this from amazon but it will take well over a month to arrive.
  3. at the demo design I really didn't understand what is the "Nozzle_Tip_axis_offset" mean if you could have a simple explanation for this is will be great.
  4. Can I get the whole step files for the project with the printer included? In case I would want to fit stuff to it on the github there is a step only for the printed parts.
    And thank you again for your amazing work, can't wait to start building this.
