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.

Test Build of Gemini 3D Printer Revision 2
I have been working hard at the 2nd revision of the Gemini 3D printer prototype. The new version has a sturdier frame assembly which is easier to put together and more straight forward in it's construction. This is a work-in-progress of the new design: The Z axis has...
Gemini 3D Printer Revised Gantry Test Assembly
As per my posts over the previous days, there is a new gantry in the works for the Gemini 3D printer. Last night the motor mounts were printed and attached to the frame. These have a lot more strength than the previous version and have slotted holes for the for M3...
Gemini 3D Printer Gantry Continued
Things are progressing fairly well with the second revision of the Gemini 3D printer's CoreXY gantry. The new corner pieces assembled well the first time and the resultant frame is quite strong and rigid. The former corner bracing scheme was fraught with issues of...
