Two of my students @engineeringzhaw built an automation system for 4 @Prusa3D MK3s as their bachelor's thesis. This allows the print beds to be loaded and unloaded autonomously and so the printers can run throughout the night.

- Preview on @PrusaSIicer 2.6: 😉 90 degrees overhang printed on my @Prusa3D Mini without support. Sliced in Prusaslicer, then exchanged the bridge-layer with the bridge-layer generated in @FullControlXYZ (Overhang Challenge). And it works quite good...
- The new @E3DOnline NONPLANAR REVO nozzles (I don’t know why they call it „belt nozzle“ 🤷🏽) you can turn your @Prusa3D Mini easily into a nonplanar printing beast… 😍 #NonplanarPrinting #ConicalSlicing
- I think that 5-axis nonplanar ironing is pretty cool… Some would probably call mesmerizing… 😉
00:00 - Visiting a great company in Prague today… It was very impressive.
- Nonplanar printing on nonplanar printed „printbed“: First I nonplanar printed a wavy part with PETG. Then I changed to PLA and printed nonplanar on it. So the resulting wavy part is nonplanar on both sides. 1/x

00:00 - Nonplanar printing with the @Trilab3D DeltiQ 2 and the allmighty @E3DOnline Revo #NippleNozzle. 😍 Delta printers have the big advantage, that the can move in all directions at the same speed. Video shows actual speed.

- We at @engineeringzhaw have developed a novel 4-axis 3D printing process to print massive overhangs without support material. Video: youtu.be/7XFWwW-U-fo (switch on english subtitles) For any further information like the research paper, please DM.
- Non-planar 5-axis printing… What do you think? 🤔 I like it. Not very smooth, but for a first try I think it is ok.
00:00 - What else… Arc-Overhang with organic supports with PrusaSlicer 2.6. Works very well and I see a big potential in it… github.com/nicolai-wachen… @CNC_Kitchen @josefprusa @Prusa3D
- About to start the first print: a 400% Benchy in 5 colors…
- I just published a simple idea, how to overcome the 3D printing of small threads for screws and holes: prusaprinters.org/prints/74217-s… To fix, the pin can be pushed into the hole and rotated 90° and vice versa. It uses the rippled surface of the FDM printing as "toothing".
- I'm excited to announce that we've joined forces with @josefprusa and his amazing team to develop some great things. Stay tuned to find out what's in the pipeline...
- I tried the same multi-material model on my @Prusa3D XL with 0.6 nozzles. It also turned out great. I simply love this printer. It prints soooo clean.
