Hi. I expanded the klipper’s control axes from 3(XYZ) to 6(XYZABC) with the addition of roll, pitch and yaw. I have checked the operation with my own printer. I would like to submit a pull request to expand to 6 axes. The aim is to support robot arms and non-flat printing.
Is the topic I wrote different?
Do you have any pictures of your printer?
I’d be interested in seeing what you’ve come up with.
Thanx!
I think that various mechanisms can be implemented, but this is just an example.
I am running it with klipper. A G-code is something like “G1X0Y0Z0A15B30”. B is the tilt angle and A is the tilt rotation angle. (I think kinematics is still in the development stage and I would like to keep it private.)
There was also another thread with similar content:
However, no one else seems to have implemented it yet.
very cool! can you link your fork or make a pr?
It will be this link. Now we are modifying the internal core to move the 3-axis kinematics with the 6-axis state. Please cooperate with the development.

Thanks for the link! So -
G1 X0 Y0 Z0 A0 B0 C0
G1 X10 Y10 Z10 A10 B10 C10
-would go smoothly and synchronously go from 0 to 10 on all axis? Will you do a PR?
I think each axis is moving synchronously. I made a pull request, but it is necessary to clear many setting files in the inspection process, and as a result, an error occurs in a file that does not support the 6-axis specification. I am modifying the core area of klippy. As a result, the ripple effect was large, and it was found that there were many changes in modules that had not been confirmed, and it was not possible to deal with them easily.
Nice work!
I would like to give it a try but I don’t have delta printer (yet).
There doesn’t seem to be a complete integration in the motion planner code. Only the planar components of the move set the pace of motion. So there is no guaranties that the rotations movements will be bounded by the configured limits. But then angular feeds and accelerations would have to be defined separately.
I don’t think that the interpretation of the rotation axes as cartesian axes is valid. For example, in the formulas:
move_d = math.sqrt(sum([d*d for d in axes_d[:6]]))
and
junction_cos_theta = -(axes_r[0] * prev_axes_r[0]
+ axes_r[1] * prev_axes_r[1]
+ axes_r[2] * prev_axes_r[2]
+ axes_r[3] * prev_axes_r[3]
+ axes_r[4] * prev_axes_r[4]
+ axes_r[5] * prev_axes_r[5])
However, for the shake of genericity, maybe this is a close enough approximation?

You are correct. Perhaps, but the calculation method needs to be changed depending on the kinematics (using a configuration file).
I believe that the current process of processing all 6 axes the same is more suited for trunnions like machining centers. Please read this paper.
I do believe that if the object to be formed is fixed, such as my HEXA or robot arm, it should be calculated in only three axes (XYZ). But I haven’t gotten there yet because I don’t know the optimal shape.

I am VERY interested. I’ve been in 3Dprinting for long but now I have to solve a problem with my PCB production. After some research there is a market gap. I need very precise very slow and with over 100 feeders Pick and Place machine. As there are none I am doing one. I found more Marlin-related software for 6 axis implementations but rather patched than supported. As lately I assebled a Voron 2.4 for myself I started to dig in Klipper. I would prefer the implementation for the P&P on Klipper as it is much more “customizable” and allows easily do implement mods and improvements and the “substitution-expansion” of regular G-codes is more than genial. I need native more axis. Extruder is specialised for extruder operation specifics. I need XYZABC approach. So I think that request of expanding Klipper as specialised for 3Dprinting to general 6-axis machine control is absolutely important. If I may I want to dig/use/try your fork.
And I am late 16hrs in the thread just has been closed 
Fork over the 6-axis G-code extension of XYZABC for your use. If it is related to a 3D printer, you may pull request a new mechanism.

Brother, are you still doing your research? I also want to make a 6-axis robotic printing device based on klipper.
Feeling dizzy about how to modify klipper
Quite bold to call someone you don’t know brother.

Based on Klipper with 6-axis support, have you developed a front-end web interface?
I use mainsail as my main tool, but I am not able to develop the front end. If it is possible, please develop it and send us a pull request.
AFAIK, Mainsail is a frontend.
A developer that sends a pull request? 
OK! I would be happy to receive your development and pull requests to my github.
