This sounds cool, but I'm annoyed that the video is mostly shots of the creator of this setup talking about it, with relatively few shots of the printing process in action, or the end result, or comparisons between the end result and a conventional setup.
The non-planar structure, and the tilt of the head being normal to the surface is meant to produce a stronger result, so let's see how much stronger it is! The first layers are planar but layers in the center are able to vary more in height, so show more footage of it during one of those later layers.
This felt more or less like watching someone speak out loud the abstract for the paper he's writing about it.
- buholzer 5y agoAgree. Non planar 3d printing has been worked on for some time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKVyBa8J3eQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKVyBa8J3eQ . I like the fact of having a precise 6-axis arm that could combine additive, subtractive manufacturing. In addition I was also wondering if it would make sense to have a fixed nozzle and the arm is moving the plate. This would increase the printing angles and allow for very flexible shapes.
