I made a PARALLEL AXIS TRIPTERON, whatever that means.
Added 2024-06-17 02:40:43 +0000 UTCIt's shiny, and it moves on it's own, but what is it even good for?
Thanks for your patience in waiting on this one, it was a slog the whole way through.
Correction, Zaber Industries should be Zaber Technologies (no affiliation)

I left the Bambu Lab section in for disclosure, but I also figured if any of you are already buying filament and such from them, you might consider using my affiliate link.

I receive 5% of filament purchases and 3% of machine purchases through that link.

With the wisdom of years of making up names for weapons engineering projects, I suggest the 5th axis be named the FIST. Frikkin Insane Spinny Thing. 🤣

2024-06-22 01:46:33 +0000 UTCYou caught me, it was definitely rushed out the door! I would like to get it organised a bit better, just depends how much free time I have in the coming days and weeks. Having a complete and parametric model out in the world would be awesome.

2024-06-22 01:40:36 +0000 UTCI'm seriously tempted to make a 3d printed one of these (you've inspired me). I downloaded your STEP file, but Fusion360 doesn't like the head (possibly inverted normals or something?). I wanted to update the model with holes printed the right size for plastic heatset inserts, but Fusion can't figure out the head (which is also 3 different bodies .. should they be merged?). Is there another way you could export this model? I have a 3-axis CNC that can do aluminum, but it looks like it would be an insane amount of work even with 4-axis. I'll stick to printing for now. Thanks for posting the model!
