I can't believe the idea never crossed my mind. Even more unbelievable that it took me this long to hear someone else put those 4 words together. I rushed straight here after running across it on YouTube so I'm not familiar with what's out there for the hobbyist yet. Just curious if anyone here is "in the know" about hobbyist 5 axis 3D printing and wants to talk about what they know.
I largely gave up on 3D printing years ago when I found that no matter what material I printed with, it would always be weak in one axis because of the "wood grain" aspect. With a 5-axis machine you could build a solid part from the center outwards, with each layer having an opposing "grain," making this a moot point.
