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](https://github.com/FullControlXYZ/fullcontrol/#readme) with support from [Duet3D](https://www.duet3d.com/) and undertaken by engineering students (Renush Vigneswaran and Nathanael Hogg) at [Loughborough University](https://www.lboro.ac.uk/) if you follow the guide, please let us know :) ... email [info@fullcontrol.xyz](mailto:info@fullcontrol.xyz) it links to 5-axis and multi-tool revisions of the 4-axis version multiaxis toolpath design demos are provided in [FullControl documentation](https://github.com/FullControlXYZ/fullcontrol/#readme) 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)
