  • If the Slicer works well

    I think this would be the biggest issue.

    I had a bit of experience with 5 axis machining and the programming of it is far from trivial.

    3 axis is really easy to automate, the paths are quite straightforward, especially for 3D printing when you go layers by layers.

    As soon as you add a 4th axis nothing is straightforward anymore. You have a high probability of collision between the extruder and the workpiece and now instead of having a single mathematical solution on how to go from point A to point B you have multiples options and no “right” option, it all depends on how the machine is built and the shape of the part.














  • I lived for two years in Cameroon when I was a kid (around 4-5 years old), we were regularly spending time with another family who had kids and the same age.

    Fast forward 15 years later, I’m 19 entering university in a totally new city in France. The first day every student is sitting in the amphitheater and they call the name of every student.

    When they call the last name of the person close to me I recognize the name so I use it as an ice breaker to start a conversation saying that I knew a family with his name in Cameroon when I was a kid … He says that yeah he lived in Cameroon as a kid at the same time as I did, so here we go we found each other again 15 years later !
