I built an experimental 3D printer that could be groundbreaking!

In this video I show the process of building a different type of 3D printer that has 2 tools that move independent from each other. This is different from an IDEX-system for instance. Where an IDEX is only independent in one axis, the system I developed is independent in all axes. Therefore I'm calling it the TIME-system, which stands for True Independent Multiple Extrusion.
With this system it should be possible to print different parts in parallel, print a single part with multiple tools or combine totally different materials. I believe that this is the next step in 3D printing and we're going to discover the possibilities of this in future videos!

Thanks a lot for the overwhelming positivity on this video! Especially after all this work and not posting videos, I couldn't have wished for more! I also saw while reading through the comments that the intention behind this TIME-system could've been explained better so I made this news article on my new website which explains a bit more: properprinting.pro/news/the-story-behind-the-time-… Edit: As several people mentioned 6-axis can be seen as deceptive. I find it very hard to come up with a clickable title that covers a subject as specific as this and I thought that I was technically correct. I've had several videos flop because of a bad title/thumbnail and that's a shame. Sorry to everyone who felt baited.

The paint roller used as a spool holder is killing me
-
This channel has the most "hold my beer" vibes in the 3d printing space.
-
I'm not an engineer, I wish I was. But I can understand the genius it takes to make something so complex. Youtube needs to share more videos like yours.
-
It might make terrible prints but dude, you created something unique, which is far more than some of these critics will EVER do. Well done. We’ll friggen done.
-
My God, someone get this man a proper mill.
-
Seeing those trusses instead of regular extrusion makes it look so much cooler
-
The biggest challenge is changing the slicer to make use of all the innovations you made with this machine. Your work as an indie engineer is beyond appreciation. Those who tried to build some new machine know how much effort one has to put to design, iterate, test and build.
-
As someone studying mechatronics engineering I can totally understand the blood, sweat and tears that go into the design and execution of a project like this. Looking forward to subsequent videos and tracking the rest of your journey.

there's nothing like a bearded dude in an old workshop, wearing a checkered flannel jacket, processing metal that sets the mood. and oh yeah, the music is so fitting <3 amzing project, can't wait to see what the future holds for the TIME machine ;)
-
Damn! Impressive work, really! Must be the most advanced grill around. Also props to not cutting this project into like 10 pieces and publishing them over a span of two years.
-
as a welder/machinist/ tool and die maker with 40 years in, this build is awesome, well done .
-
The fact alone that you used a grill plate for the buildplate was enough to make me subscribe
-
OMG That paint roller is genius ! You build this amazingly complex impossible looking mechanical work of art then come up with the easiest solution for a spool holder. Man I wish I had talent like yours !
-
As someone constantly on YouTube, I really liked the way you integrated the ad. I never even thought about skipping it until it was over, and I honestly feel like I took a lot of what you said in even though I've seen dozens of PCB way placements before. It was just nice to have something to focus on that didn't feel forced, goofy, and never felt like it stopped the flow of the video. Just really good job

This is not a 6-axis printer, its just two 3-axis printers
-
Wow man. That's some engineering. You should consider releasing this thing.
-
Cool to see all of your previous projects come together in little ways in this, the tool changer, heated bed, folding gantry and more. Underated Youtuber right here.
-
This is insane, you’re really smart, the portal blew my mind with the system controlling z and x axes with the same 2 motors.
-
Jon, this is incredible. The complex engineering thats gone into this is fantastic and the fact you executed in 3 months is seriously impressive! I cannot wait to see more of what you do with it!
