Dear Hangprinter fans,

recently it was painfully brought to my attention that there are people in the US who thought it would be an insanely great idea to wrap the Hangprinter concept, which has been open source for years longer, in a US patent and publish it in January 2022. This patent should never have existed, as its contents are not a novelty and therefore not suitable for patenting.

Hey dudes! This month Trikarus is going to print again, yeah! You can visit us at the museum at 21.05. from 11 to 15 o'clock and 22.05. in regular opening hours. Last month we printed some chainy stuff to show up large-scaled print objects, which are interlocking. Stay tuned to see what we are going to print this time :-]

We are proud to announce that Trikarus is part of the regular museum area now. The special exhibition MaschinenBoom ended in december 2021 but the Hangprinter moved to a new place 30 meters far away. In the time slot from 28.02. to 04.03. i did a mass of work to revive Trikarus again because changing the place means a strict recalibration. I needed to unmount the print bed and we changed a lot of mechanical properties slighty by grabbing the frame. While checking out the machine again some bad occurences revealed additionally.
