What a great weekend at SMRRF! Was so hectic trying to get the printer working but so great to see nice prints from it today 😍
This system's gonna be developed further - keep an eye out!

What a great weekend at SMRRF! Thanks @The_SMF_ for making it so great.
It was so fun making this printer for it. And many more developments still in the works! FullControl used to design the toolpaths and powder dosing action, etc. 🤓

Would love to collab on a video going over the nozzle cam setup if anyone is interested!!

This xmas tree decoration is genuinely beautiful... go print it while your tree is up! 🎄
It's even more beautiful when you see it printing and know how impossible it should be 🤓

🎄 Freeform Frosting Challenge 🎄
Defy gravity by freezing molten polymer mid-air with a lovely frosty texture! ❄️☃️
Designed by my awesome PhD student, Jinnuo Zhang 🙏 @LoughboroughUni.
Print free at fullcontrol.xyz – each tree uses <1 gram (£0.02) of material!! 🎄✨
Someone went FullControl on #gridfinity 😍 now I wanna do a whole library!
They also casually implemented G2/G3 support to FullControl 💡

I like this!!! 😍
Yes!! @FullControlXYZ is just a game changer. I've been so impressed by how much it helps this filament perform to its max potential!
Multi-extruder multi-axis multi-mega-awesomeness!! 💯
It's all open source, including toolpath design

Tensile Tester Finally has a Pulse! youtube.com/shorts/4GqieF3u7… via @YouTube It has been a long,twisty road but moving again. A little more functional testing/development then dig into @FullControlXYZ to scheme up some physiologic artery wall designs and on to the 3D printing fun!
Simple 4-axis mod for prusa i3
Full walk-through doc at fullcontrol.xyz/4axis including @fullcontrolxyz toolpath generation

Please build and test 4-axis path-planning 🙏
What 5th axis dya want?
I'm running a workshop at this conference next week on:
✳️ Toolpath design for maximising additive manufacturing performance
Sign up! bit.ly/3THWHzL
Beforehand, think about difficulties you've experienced for AM... we can discuss potential influences of the toolpath 💡
Looking forward to welcoming delegates to campus for the @EMChamberNews Manufacturing and Trade Conference (26 March). Speakers include @lborouniversity’s @JanGodsell, Shahin Rahimifard (@centreforsmart), @FullControlXYZ and @DrM_Pacella. Book for free at bit.ly/3THWHzL
