Open Source 3D Printers and Robots for Makers, Hackers and Enthusiasts
About Kitchissippi Robotics
Kitchissippi Robotics is a home for open source 3D printers and robotics designs. The main development is done in Canada’s National Capital region overlooking the Ottawa River. The name is derived from the original Algonquin word for “Great River” which was the original name for the Ottawa River.
We're Open
All Kitchissippi Robotics designs are currently released under the GPL. Additionally, we strive to keep our prototype 3D printers machines as RepRap compatible as possible.
Current Projects
We’re always working on something. Currently the main focus is on developing the K02 Gemini 3D printer which is a large-format dual-material printer, and the K03 Kitchissippi Delta 3D printer which is a scalable 3D printer uncommonly designed to be made from commonly available low cost components.. Check out the blog page for the most recent information about what we’re up to.

What’s Up with Kitchissippi Robotics 2021
When I completed the last test build of the Gemini 3D Printer I found that although the CoreXY mechanism worked well - the Z axis still left much to be desired. The print bed was quite heavy and hard to keep level when the motors were idle and the weight wanted to...
Next Gemini Prototype Design
After getting the latest prototype of the Gemini 3D printer up and running I was dissatisfied with the assembly, implementation, appearance and performance of the overall system. I starting playing around with some ideas in Sketchup by moving bits around and fiddling...
Gemini-3D Printer Rev3 Up and Running
Work on the Gemini 3D Printer was on hold for a few months while I used it's cart as a temporary plant nursery for my garden. I created a few quick parts to get the bed mounted to the Z axis and get the machine up and running for some testing. There have been a few...
