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.

New Top Idler Corner for Gemini 3D
As part of the redesign and strengthening of the Gemini 3D, working towards a more production-like model instead of the flimsy proof-of-concept prototype I have printed and assembled one of the new top idler corners. This is made as a two piece assembly in order to...
Flat Bar X Axis for Gemini 3D Printer
As I mentioned in my previous post, I am experimenting with a revised gantry for the Gemini 3D printer. Here is a test assembly of the new idler ends assembled with the flat aluminum bar support and the 9mm hiwin rail for the X axis mounted. This design is proving to...
Experimental Revisions to the Gemini Gantry
The previous prototype of the Gemini 3D printer gantry worked effectively however there are many aspects that I have been working on revising. Plastic parts in use on the x-end/y-carriage were not designed to be robust in the prototypes - it was assumed that they...
