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.

OpenSCAD Mockup of Gemini X-Carriage
Using OpenSCAD to recreate - and hopefully finally finish - the X-Carriage design has been proving beneficial. It's now much easier to programatically place the parts in a mockup of the assemblies and see how they'll fit - and most importantly, I can make parametric...
Gemini 3D Printer End Stops
As I discussed in my previous post, work is being done towards creating an OpenSCAD parametric version of several key complicated assemblies within the Gemini 3D printer. Things are going well - I have designed a basic syntax and part numbering system to keep...
