Who likes a 6-scara-arm printer yeh!?
Loads of interesting lessons learned from developing this! And a great example of FullControl being used to design things that aren't a print path and don't make sense in an STL file or slicer - powder dosing instructions π€
First day of SMRRF 2026!

Most of the time Iβm about fashion, but I do have a huge love for anything innovative. And this printer really captured my attention, never seen rotating nozzles. π§
Research by @fullcontrolxyz

π§ Weβre delighted to welcome @fullcontrolxyz , part of Loughborough University, to SMRRF 2026!
Created by Andy Gleadall, FullControl empowers makers, researchers, and engineers to generate precise, human-readable GCode, unlocking design freedom beyond traditional slicers. Open-source (GNU GPL v3.0) and built to remove barriers between ideas and fabrication, itβs already enabling unprecedented additive manufacturing research.
Discover how FullControl is redefining whatβs possible with GCode.

Soooo close!!! π€¦
You can (or can't π) print this from the Freeform Frosting Challenge on www.fullcontrol.xyz by tweaking the parameters about start/end sizes, etc. Go for it! π»

π Freeform Frosting Challenge π
Ready to defy gravity? π It's all about getting molten polymer to freeze beautifully in mid-air βοΈβοΈβοΈ
This looks amazing while printing β I can't wait to see someone create a killer video of it! πΉ
Designed by my awesome PhD student, Jinnuo Zhang π, at Loughborough University
π¨οΈ free at www.fullcontrol.xyz β and how much material dya reckon? Less than Β£0.02's worth per tree decoration!! πβ¨

(links to this dual-extruder version)
Powered by Duet3D
Video by my @lborouniversity student Sam Butler π
Open-source 4-axis printer conversion
Full-build walk-through --> www.fullcontrol.xyz/4axis
Awesome work by my students at @lborouniversity - video by Nathanael Hogg, working with Renush Vigneswaran
Electronics powered by Duet3D πͺ
Toolpath powered by @fullcontrolxyz πͺ
Please build it and let us know any potential improvements/extensions
5-axis add-on coming soon!
Which axis do you think is best as the additional rotation axis... Tilt bed? Rotate bed? Add 2nd axis rotation to the printhead?
Open-source 4-axis 3D printer conversion with 3 bought parts and 3-6 printed parts! Simple!
Full walk-through including toolpath generation:

Fantastic video by Renush Vigneswaran π he and Nathanael Hogg, both UG students at Loughborough University, did this work in collaboration with Duet3D, using their awesome Duet 3 mini 5+, and Dirk Leas
This is a mega simple starting point for multiaxis development... 5-axis mod coming soon! Starting with 4-axis, reduces barriers to development and hopefully is an easy step for slicers towards 5-axis slicers in the future. And there is loads of research you can do with 4 axes that is directly relevant to 5. Whilst waiting for multiaxis slicers to mature, you can use FullControl π
Lots more research along these lines coming from us!
