I feel like this dude is a time traveler, I mean he single handedly builds an insane next gen 3D printer for a less than $400 and gives it to the community to develop further. mind = blown Awesome! Just Awesome!!
@@RobinCernyMitSuffix My issue is the OP in the video is presenting it like it's his own discovery/invention...and the comments are full of ignorant simps who think he's some kind of genius for copying a longstanding CNC machine design and replacing the spindle with a plasti-jizz squirter.
Genious! The kinematics are way less complex/finicky than previous multi axis printers i have seen, this has a much higher chance of becoming more common.
Brilliant! As a mechanical engineer I see so much value in you tackling the slicing/software side, that's the real optimization problem now that you have the concept hardware working. That said, let me know if you are looking for a collaborator!
THIS is what non-planar slicing should be, with this design, you don't even need to use the rotational axis if you want to just run regular gcode, but the option is there to do non-planar stuff as well. Really well thought out and an excellent design.
Unironically, this machine is beautiful. This may be a dumb suggestion, but what if you replaced the bed's single rotating motor with a similar mechanism to how the extruder arm and head operates? Having two motors spin the print bed, but then when they rotate in opposite directions, they move the print bed in a linear motion perpendicular to the axis the print arm moves. Like some kind of hybrid rotating bedslinger. The bed slinging would ONLY be used to prevent issues with singularities, but beyond that, idk if it'd even be worth it.
This is a great idea, and I hope it receives more attention. If the R axis of the tool head was perpendicular to the R axis of the bed, you'd actually have an X,Y,Z, along with an A and B axis. No more dead zone. My idea was to allow for the print bed to be a cylinder, which would be tricky, but would also allow for some other use cases, and excellently strong parts since your layer lines can be along the length of the part and never overlap.
Print speed will always be limited when using a moving-bed design, since you have to accommodate the tendency of the part's inertia to tear it off the bed. Axial beds reduce the forces somewhat, but are still fairly restrictive. What about, instead of sliding the bed, we put the main print arm on its own vertical axis? This would allow the print head to sweep through the center of the bed axis, and the combined movements could be optimized for maximum acceleration along both axis independently in order to maximize total traversal speed. IMO the real value here isn't in reducing support material, but in enabling more structurally useful layer alignment. So maybe just intentionally printing with strong supports to promote bed adhesion and prevent slip/layer shift would also be adequate.
@@haphazard1342 I was going to write a comment, but I quickly realized that I had no idea what I was talking about. So instead, I'll just include my thought process as to why I thought I would put the extra axis on the bed instead of the gantry. In my mind, adding an exra axis to the already complicated gantry setup would probably reduce more deflection than adding that same axis to the bed instead. Like, both axis, axes? on the printer now can suport the print head easily because they're perpendicualr to both the axis they're moving along, and also their axis of rotation. But if you added an x-axis to the bottom of the gantry so it could slide back and forth, all the weight of the printer head would be exerting a moment in line? parallel? in the direction of rotation along the x-axis. Imagine cutting a CNC router gantry in half, it'd tip over without some serious extra support on the remaining side. Meanwhile a slinger axis put on the bed wouldn't suffer from that issue. idfk where I'm going with this. Just my thoughts.
When path planning for slicing the gcode, I wonder if this would create too many degrees of freedom and thus become an unsolvable problem from the inverse kinematics perspective.
@@timothysands5537 Hmm, maybe. There would be 1 x-axis and 1 z-rotation for the bed, plus 1 y-axis, 1 z-axis, and 1 x-rotation for the gantry. Not saying my idea is good or feasible, but you could probably limit the software to being only able to use slinger and bed rotation separately. Like, if it wanted to rotate the bed, it'd have to go back to zero or something. Though that brings another issue, depending on the calibration, it might be extremely difficult to line up the center of the bed if it's on a slinger with the print head on the gantry. As the machine sits right now, the center of the bed is in-line with the print head, and it CAN'T misalign, ust due to how it's built. But with a bedslinger option, it could. Then you'd potentially have a MASSIVE distortion issue
Holy crap this is cool. You didn't just build the machine, but you also did the math. I love it! I'm only 22 seconds in and can already see that this is going to make an impact on the 3D print community. That is, unless Stratasys is going to hunt you down saying your design looks like one of their nonsense patents. I hope this makes it out into the wild! I love it!
I see it as two great achievements: the whole slicing for anything other than the regular prints was unsolved, and he made the software for it and also the built itself, of course. Thanks for going open-source, btw. 🙏
actually I have a patent on using various axis of movement (such as linear and rotational, though this is a non-exhaustive list) in order to move a toolhead to various points in space (dubbed "locations") with electrical, hydraulic, manual, and or pnuematic actuation. (also non-exhaustive) This also infringes on a patent of mine with regards to using a thin flexible strip of material (dubbed a "belt") to confer rotational and/or linear motion across a distance.
@@robonator2945 This also infringes on a patent of mine with regards to using a thin flexible strip of material (dubbed a "belt") to confer rotational and/or linear motion across a distance, currently it's widely used in automotive starter motors.
what I think will be the biggest benefit of this type of printing is the axis-agnostic uniform strength of your print. If you print your object like you're winding up a ball of yarn, you won't have the weakness that traditional prints have in the Z-axis when layers separate.
@@neuschf yes. Even if you still end up with some layers, if you can align the layers along the part axis as closely as possible then it's still a major improvement since each layer has more surface area for bonding.
Wow, the fact that you made a general non-planar slicer is incredible! I haven't seen anything like that outside of specific research settings. The simplicity of the kinematics is amazing, too!
What a busy bee. 1 year no videos at all - and then such a banger. Your work payed off. This is a very nice approach to 3D printing. When it works for CNC why not for printers, too.

I'm very impressed with your engineering, for not being an engineer. Fantastic job for having an idea and just making it, hardware and software. Fingers crossed that you keep up with the open sourcing.
This is incredible and one of the reasons why I love the 3D printing community so much. You put A LOT of work into this just to open source it. I hope you’re able to get at least some money when one of the big manufacturers picks up your idea. This will revolutionize the 3D printing community in a few years and I’m incredibly excited for it! Thank you for your hard work
Incredibly cool! Amazing that you actually already did what's arguably the hard part, the slicing. It's also awesome how simple your printer design really is. It looks like this would have a similar BOM cost to a typical bed slinger. This could genuinely bring non-planar and 4 axis printing forward!
I think that a solution for the singularity problem would be allowing the printing head to travel a bit beyond the center of a bed so the central zone could be filled with almost regular cartesian movements, although the code itself may be a bit sophisticated for this and would not completely eliminate structural weakness in the region.
Worked 5 year in profesionnal video editing. By far my favorite software. The optimisation for realtime playback of crazy high resolution is not as automatic as in finalcut pro with prores, but after a bit of tweeking you can get way better performance. With colorgrading, vfx and sfx integrated, its amazing.
This is incredible. You definitely have engineering chops. If this is still WIP, my only suggestion is to add the extra wiring for limit switches. Stalling your steppers like that every time you go to home is going to create extra wear and tear on them and shorten their lifespans. The use of compressed air is brilliant though, and I love the rubber band sling! This is a mechanical AND computer engineering work of art.
Everyone is stoked about the cool non-planer stuff, but I say congratulations on graduating! Looks like you wasted your time at Cambridge a lot more productively than I did, lol.
For all those who are interested in non-planar slicing the developer of my preferred slicer IceSL silently released an update a couple of weeks ago which integrated non-planar slicing. This project is really cool and the simplicity of the mechanics is awesome, subbed.
I WAS CURRENTLY PLANNING ON BUILDING A A POLAR PRINTER AND RUNNING IT ON MY DUET 2 WIFI….! AND THEN YOUR VIDEO POPS UP!!! JOSH…..THIS HAS MADE ME SO HAPPY!!!
Congrats for your degree in Cambridge and your first full-time job :) I am a SW engineer at a big tech and it is nice to see new talents joining the field.
This man open sourced! Graduated! And provided context to something! THANK YOU! continue to go down this path of hobby projects, using trials 😂, and making your hobby something to be fun! Don't let it become a "Job" you have to do! Really thanks I am so tempted to try to make this!
Literally the best 3D printer I've ever seen in my life this is what the future should look like, it should have happened yesterday. Instead everyone is copying the same thing. friend you made the best printer ever
Super Awesome! Love that the only reason I get to see this is that your free trial was running out. Nathan Builds Robots uses a counter rotating mass for his polar bed or something like that. Having melted many fan ducts, PC Carbon Fiber filament can be printed on an i3 style printer. It is great for temperature resistance and easy to print because the fiber breaks up the long polymer chains and severely reduces warping. All you need is new nozzle and a cardboard box to put over the printer. ABS+ from eSun is also an option but not as temperature resistant as PC CF. Also excited to see the ceramic version.
I tried the Slicer and it is ABSOLUTELY, how can I put it, out of this world, went like a charm and did what it said it would, I am trying to build this Fabulous 3D printer,I have ordered few things and give it a go. THANKS JOSH
Absolument génial !!! J'adore ce genre de réalisation simple et efficace, il fallait y penser et être capable de le réaliser. Joshua, tu es un modèle de ce que l'humanité peut faire de mieux, ne laisse jamais personne brider ta créativité.

Holy fuck I was talking with a colleague about this about a month ago and we couldn't wrap our heads around the pathmaking and collision detection mechanism and this legend just builds a working printer
I've come up with the same design before but I'm not a computer engineer or coder in any way. This problem is really one of slicers not printers. I am really pleased you went through the trouble of making the printer from scratch and making the slicer too. Amazing. I really hope you can get something back for your efforts.
Wizard is just slang for computer scientist, and mage is slang for programmer. He is in fact neither, he is a wiseman which is slang for freaking genius.
OMG I had the idea of multi-axis slicing by wave propogation from build plate and I am glad that you did it first! congrates! really excited to see advancements in slicer as it is the only thing stopping multi-axis printing from being widely adaptable
Very cool! I've been experimenting with remote, pneumatic cooling in a VERY SIMILAR way to cut as much weight as possible off of the gantry for high speed operations, but this is on a whole other level!!! Definitely going to try building one of these soon!
You're actually a genius, this is incredibly impressive. You're able to apply simple solutions in out of the box ways to solve complex problems. Amazing.
This is next level stuff. Not only does it solve a major issue with traditional printing (overhangs) but it also is just mesmerizing to watch. Looks like the ender 3 s1 might be getting a new life
Damn...... this, you, all of it is insane! I was wondering when this one person (you) finally achieves something like this.

WILD you open sourced it. LEGEND. YOU ARE AWESOME!
Great work man, don't give up on this! My hobby became my career many years ago, watching your video reminded me of some of my internal dialog way back when..
Oh my god.... hahaha. My first thought was, "that looks so awesome!". Second thought was, "Although, slicing for non-planar printers is the true challenge." You promptly addressed that right away! This is extremely exciting!
Great job. I have been seeing discussions and a couple tries at multi Access 3-D printing for years and it’s cool to see one working well. My interest is for designing parts in optimizing for the pros and cons of additive manufacturing where with 3-D printing polymers you have different strengths and weaknesses, depending on part orientation.
wow. I'm speechless - and embarrassed that I cannot directly contribute as of now, just showing gratitude and filling the comment space, but wow! Perfect! Thank you!
The potential of fdm printers to print without specific layers is something truly powerful. Thank you for pushing the boundaries of innovation forward with your ideas
I always thought a concept like this would be really cool. I though of the rotating bed and variable angle nozzle, but didn’t think about the compressed air cooling. So cool to see someone bring this concept to life
i thought about saying :"i wished i have had seen this earlier!" but this project is so fresh out of the oven, i would have needed to be precognicient. Great design. I hope someone get's done an even cheaper build of this configuration for those people with budgetary restrictions. This is truly marvellous. Additive machining in a rotational geometry and the slicer optimizing it on top. that is next level!

For all those who are interested in non-planar slicing the developer of my preferred slicer IceSL silently released an update a couple of weeks ago which integrated non-planar slicing.
This project is really cool and the simplicity of the mechanics is awesome, subbed.
I WAS CURRENTLY PLANNING ON BUILDING A A POLAR PRINTER AND RUNNING IT ON MY DUET 2 WIFI….!
AND THEN YOUR VIDEO POPS UP!!!
JOSH…..THIS HAS MADE ME SO HAPPY!!!
Congrats for your degree in Cambridge and your first full-time job :)
I am a SW engineer at a big tech and it is nice to see new talents joining the field.
This is an answer project. Can't wait to see more videos on it. You are amazing
Dude you're really amazing engineer! Love to see more stuff from you in TH-cam or anywhere else!
Clicks on video: "These multi-axes print heads are cool but the slicers just can't support them yet"
2 mins in: 😲
Looking forward to more!
This man open sourced! Graduated! And provided context to something! THANK YOU! continue to go down this path of hobby projects, using trials 😂, and making your hobby something to be fun! Don't let it become a "Job" you have to do! Really thanks I am so tempted to try to make this!
This is awesome. I smashed the subscribe button so fast and hard that it indented the screen.
it is the most interesting 3d printer i seen so far for the last 10 years
Literally the best 3D printer I've ever seen in my life this is what the future should look like, it should have happened yesterday. Instead everyone is copying the same thing. friend you made the best printer ever
Awesome. Hope you put out more videos. Keep designing you are a genius.
Super Awesome! Love that the only reason I get to see this is that your free trial was running out. Nathan Builds Robots uses a counter rotating mass for his polar bed or something like that. Having melted many fan ducts, PC Carbon Fiber filament can be printed on an i3 style printer. It is great for temperature resistance and easy to print because the fiber breaks up the long polymer chains and severely reduces warping. All you need is new nozzle and a cardboard box to put over the printer. ABS+ from eSun is also an option but not as temperature resistant as PC CF. Also excited to see the ceramic version.
Extraordinary work! It's very cool to see a 3D printer move like this!
we need a company to sell this to the public, this should be made easily accesible, this pushes 3d printing to a new level
I tried the Slicer and it is ABSOLUTELY, how can I put it, out of this world, went like a charm and did what it said it would, I am trying to build this Fabulous 3D printer,I have ordered few things and give it a go. THANKS JOSH
We need more info on that non-planar slicer. This could be HUGE for the entire hobby fdm 3d printing world.
this is SO COOL, i'd love to see this become the next big thing in 3D printing. Keep it up!!
FinalCut, please send Joshua a complimentary fully functional version: we need more of his videos...
Absolument génial !!! J'adore ce genre de réalisation simple et efficace, il fallait y penser et être capable de le réaliser. Joshua, tu es un modèle de ce que l'humanité peut faire de mieux, ne laisse jamais personne brider ta créativité.
The slicer is bringing me to the channel!! I'm subscribed!
I had started on working on this exact idea a month ago, I knew someone would beat me to it. I even shared the idea with coworkers to see if anyone would be interested to help out in building a prototype. Congrats to you!
MINDBLOWING! - You should have Nobel Prize for this invention!
this looks sick as hell! and using compressed air for cooling is genius
The way you speak and your knowledge made me think you’re a 40 yr old software engineer. The face cam at the end took me by surprise 😂
my ego disintegrated
Bro can just walk up any interview from now on with this video playing on a tablet and ask the CEO about his greatest weakness
Unbelievable! This will change everything we've learned about 3d printing!
This is great! You're an awesome human being. Thank you!
A free trial ending is one hell of a motivator
I kept going back to your film camera project previously, loved the vid. never thought you’d come back with sth this cool This is amazing, hh, keep up the good work, nice to know you’re also from Hong Kong, cheers
the way it prints looks soooo alien compared to a typical 3 axis 3d printer, its fascinating and feels like a software nightmare~
That’s the coolest diy printer I’ve seen in a long time! Nice work!
Holy fuck I was talking with a colleague about this about a month ago and we couldn't wrap our heads around the pathmaking and collision detection mechanism and this legend just builds a working printer
I've come up with the same design before but I'm not a computer engineer or coder in any way. This problem is really one of slicers not printers. I am really pleased you went through the trouble of making the printer from scratch and making the slicer too. Amazing. I really hope you can get something back for your efforts.
im a computer scientist, this man isnt, he is in fact a wizard.
Wizard is just slang for computer scientist, and mage is slang for programmer. He is in fact neither, he is a wiseman which is slang for freaking genius.
I’ve been waiting for this since I built my first Mendel. Kudos to you for sharing this!
Marlin supports extra axes.... 6:25
OMG I had the idea of multi-axis slicing by wave propogation from build plate and I am glad that you did it first! congrates! really excited to see advancements in slicer as it is the only thing stopping multi-axis printing from being widely adaptable
Any one notice that at minute 3:03 when he says subscribe the subscribe botton iluminates?
That’s been rolled out for a sec. AI has entered the chat here in increasingly unsubtle ways
@@zachvalenti The most "AI" part of this feature is the speech to text itself, which has existed for years.
Same thing happens when someone says "Like the video" its been here for a little while now.
oh wow, i wouldn't have guessed that the 4 axis printer guy was also the 3d-printed video camera guy, love all your work!
3:33 looool
Very cool! I've been experimenting with remote, pneumatic cooling in a VERY SIMILAR way to cut as much weight as possible off of the gantry for high speed operations, but this is on a whole other level!!!
Definitely going to try building one of these soon!
6:10 300 - 400 dollars? thats pretty crazy. way cheaoer than bambulab printers
Wow this is one of the most incredible things I've seen in 3D printing. Great work. I hope this can take off
Please patent this and then make it freely licensed.
You're actually a genius, this is incredibly impressive. You're able to apply simple solutions in out of the box ways to solve complex problems. Amazing.
This is next level stuff. Not only does it solve a major issue with traditional printing (overhangs) but it also is just mesmerizing to watch. Looks like the ender 3 s1 might be getting a new life
The method for controlling rotation of the head and extension of the head with the same two rotating parts is genius, well done!
OMG, you're a genius! The fact that this nozzle can rotate is mind-blowing. It's just as cool as my v400.
Damn...... this, you, all of it is insane! I was wondering when this one person (you) finally achieves something like this. I compiled an early non-planar Slicer by myself with the hope to achieve insane prints but ended up with insane amounts of nerve taking slicer issues. XD. You are the light of new printers, the savior of ........ okay being realistic here, how long some BS Company gives you a vast load of money and we will never be able to replicate this...... WILD you open sourced it. LEGEND. YOU ARE AWESOME!
Go forth and continue to be amazing sir Bird! What a cool invention. You're going places.
Great work man, don't give up on this! My hobby became my career many years ago, watching your video reminded me of some of my internal dialog way back when..
Oh my god.... hahaha.
My first thought was, "that looks so awesome!".
Second thought was, "Although, slicing for non-planar printers is the true challenge." You promptly addressed that right away! This is extremely exciting!
Great job. I have been seeing discussions and a couple tries at multi Access 3-D printing for years and it’s cool to see one working well. My interest is for designing parts in optimizing for the pros and cons of additive manufacturing where with 3-D printing polymers you have different strengths and weaknesses, depending on part orientation.
wow. I'm speechless - and embarrassed that I cannot directly contribute as of now, just showing gratitude and filling the comment space, but wow! Perfect! Thank you!
The potential of fdm printers to print without specific layers is something truly powerful. Thank you for pushing the boundaries of innovation forward with your ideas
I always thought a concept like this would be really cool. I though of the rotating bed and variable angle nozzle, but didn’t think about the compressed air cooling. So cool to see someone bring this concept to life
i thought about saying :"i wished i have had seen this earlier!" but this project is so fresh out of the oven, i would have needed to be precognicient. Great design. I hope someone get's done an even cheaper build of this configuration for those people with budgetary restrictions. This is truly marvellous. Additive machining in a rotational geometry and the slicer optimizing it on top. that is next level!
FINALLY a project like this that's not just a hardware proof-of-concept. Amazing job!
