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:

> Let’s get Klipper setup for 5 axis functionality! This would be super useful for a number of applications! I’ve seen some previous discussion on the topic and I’d like for us to “get there”. Intent of this thread is to compartmentalize the problem, foster, and track progress/solutions in each problem area: Based on Kevin’s comments from another thread: obtaining a 6 axis slicer; modifying Klipper’s g-code move parser to support the additional axes updating the toolhead look-ahead code to t…

> Can Klipper be so nice and push the boundaries for the next step in 3d printing. We see people making the benchy to almost the limits with the CoreXY 3D Printers/Klipper, like the Ratrig or Voron. A benchy in 4-8min was never heard of for a some time ago but it does stop there and can’t be better than that with the CoreXY 3D Printers. The only way to improve 3d printing for now is the bed with tilting and rotating. I did asked in the Voron community what is preventing them in making the next …

However, no one else seems to have implemented it yet.
