HEXA Printer Issues

A project log for HEXA printer

The HEXA printer is a 3D printer that uses a 6-axis parallel link mechanism similar to the DELTA printer. 6 degrees of freedom allow control

Too many degrees of freedom prevent positional accuracy at the nozzle tip. For example, the figure below shows a heat map of nozzle tip position error for different rotation angles at the same tilt angle.

Tilt 30 degrees, rotation 60 degrees

Tilt 30 degrees, rotation 240 degrees

The error varies depending on the angle of tilt and rotation.
