I really hope someone explores this with multi-axis printing. 3D printers have become impressively reliable and work great, but we are in a local maximum: we print in 3 axes only, layer by layer. You could do so much more with a tilting bed (4th axis), or a tilting extruder (4 and 5).
- all2 3y agoAs I recall, A and B axes have been done, as well as cylindrical/lathe printing. These just haven't made it into consumer 3d printers.
