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.

First nice test print
Although there is some work to be done still in terms of getting everything configured within the Smoothieware so that the Gemini 3D printer is working optimally, it's already proving itself capable of making some nice prints: This little guy was scaled down to reduce...
Calibration Cubes
As with all printers, after assembly and initial electronics testing, it becomes time to print calibration cubes. This simple step cube came out fairly well, especially when you consider that I made a mistake when slicing it in Cura and forget to put in any infill....
