Can this be used on other types of 5d printers? about open5x HOT 39 OPEN

It's hard to explain through text, but in the current version of the script. You will need to open the simulation node and load your own 3D model inside. I am doing some major rework on the script at the moment, which I am hoping to release next week.
I will follow up with the detailed walk through of the script week after. (Sorry for being slow with the tutorials! I keep finding areas to improve)

Yes of course, I know Open5x has been implemented on Voron, E3D toolchanger and Ender3. Latest iteration has developed by BrendonBuilds.

Thank you for your response :) very much appreciated, even though very cool that other people are using different machines to achieve this, I was thinking, is there a way to change the positioning of the axes so that rather than using the bed of the 3D printer to move for 5D, why not use the extruder to move? Here I have my 5D printer I am working on and a small drawing that might help explain what I mean. Because I have Rhino 3D and Grasshopper and your file, I just don't understand how to change the Prusa model for my model and the logic of the positioning of the axes, so I thought I would reach out.

Two of those platforms he mentioned (Voron and E3D tool changer) have stationary beds, so you might find those projects and see what they did

Thank you. I'll look into it now :)

You should definitely checkout the works of Rene!
He is also working with head-articulation system. His website is really well documented.

I have checked his out, however, there isn't enough info on how to go about the slicing software, he explains he uses something called Slicer4trn and slic3r and openscad yet looking into it there aren't any detailed instructions to go about using slicer4rtn, and I can't seem to find anything on the Voron and E3D 5D printers by brendenbuilds

E3D 3D models are included in this repository.
The Voron 3D model is very recent, and it might be still under development by Brendon.

ok, but what if I wanted to load my own model by any chance? Is there a way to go about that easily?

No worries thank you very much for the help, my last question is though if I do manage to load my model in is there a way to define the axis for extruder articulation?

from open5x.

Yes, you can define the axis of rotation, and the refence point of which the rotation happens. However, this will need to be some adjustment inside the kinematics node. Current setup accounts for inverse kinematics. If you are rotating the head that is forward kinematics (which in theory is easier the calculate)

gotcha thank you, just because I am not that skilled in Grasshopper and I wouldn't know how to do that easily is there a way to upload a tutorial on it? I'm confident that I can figure out the model and maybe the points of rotation, however Im not confident when it comes to the rest of that. lol XD

and when talking about the simulation node, is this what you are referring to?

from open5x.

Hey so I was able to bring my model into the grass hopper file and set up everything yet I am having some issues with it that I can only describe as breaking, it seems that it doesn't like my model for some reason, I attached some pictures which I hope can explain something.

Hello,
I have adapted the project for the use on an Anet A8 printer. Here follows a video.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19SqbeTdAYfTyP9jftIdFQ90rBx3jP8Fw/view?usp=sharing
I have tried to print the propeller with all the 3 blades but the slicer makes a path that does not take into account neither the nozzle dimension nor the extruder shape so the result is that 1 blade is ok but when printing the second blade the nozzle moves against the propeller shaft and detachs the printed model from the bed.
I have not found a solution to configure or modify the slicer in order to avoid the above behaviour except editing by hand the produced Gcode.
In any case the nozzle I have bought is the thinner that is commercially available. The solution proposed by Freddie is too much expensive: 18 euro for every nozzle change ...
