Starship 3D is a line of bi-polar 3D Printers consisting of varying models and sizes. Currently, the only model currently in development is the Intrepid Class.

Classes

Class	Radial Axis Length	Build Plate Diameter	Z Height
Intrepid	6 inches	12 inches	9.75 inches

Slicing

The current method for generating g-code for the Starship printers is to translate an existing g-code file into polar g-code (polar g-code is no different than cartesian, just easier for the interpreter to read.

Firmware

The Starship firmware is being built in Arduino for the RAMPS 1.4 control board. The most notable difference addressed in the firmware from that of cartesian printers, is the fact that the farther the tool is from the center of the build plate, the larger each step becomes.
