In the next few years, what is the possibility of Bambu Lab dipping its toes into the world of 4 or 5 axis 3d printers? https://all3dp.com/4/new-5-axis-generatively-designed-3d-printer-fits-on-your-desk/ This article got me thinking: What if BBL tried their hand at 4 or 5 axis printers? They could possibly use an existing design (like the A1 mini) and throw another motor or two on the print head. It isn’t an entirely new concept as Polar 3D printers have done it for some time now.
Well, the issue is on software side, it’s easy to make hardware, but software is on a very difficult side. No one has made reliable software that could handle 5 axis.
They couldn’t even make h2d to print with different nozzle sizes, and you are asking for 5 axis …

What is 5-axis 3D printing and what makes it special? In this article, we’ll be answering these questions and more! Read all about it.
5-Axis 3D Printer: All You Need to Know | All3DP
The main Problem is the Kinematic on all 5 Axis to each other (Tool Center Point) and the Program (Slicer) to give it out. It´s to hard for me to explain in english but i am working since over 20 years on 5-axis mill´s so i know the problems…even after a crash

Apart from the H2D, the 4 (and 5) axis system playbook already exists. Polar 3D printers have been doing it for decades, and CNC machines for even longer. The only issue would be adding a lot more data to the gcode to handle non planar movements, so more processing power and storage would be needed, but that is negligible. And I think I found a solution the the H2D problem…
