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.

Reconsidering the Gemini Hotend Chassis
The hotend chassis in use on the current Gemini 3D Printer prototype is fairly successful. It works and proved to be an interesting thought exercise to get it to a serious level of functionality. I have been considering some of the drawbacks however and going back to...
Need for Speed
After getting several good prints while tuning the Z height detection mechanism that is the core reasoning behind complicating the Hotend Chassis of the Gemini printer, I started working on the Smoothieware settings that seemed to be causing some grief when attempting...
Big Vase Prints – Not Just for Deltas
After rebuilding the extruder's filament pusher three times due to it's penchant for ejecting the pneumatic pushfit connector, I was finally able to get it to behave, at least at lower speeds. I'll be designing my own instead of using an existing design at some point...
