Sextupteron

This is a variant of the Tripteron and the Quadrupteron. (http://robot.gmc.ulaval.ca/en/research/theme104.html) Following that naming scheme I had to call it the Sextupteron for a 6 degree of freedom version.

You could use this for 3D printing on surfaces that aren't flat, for an assembly robot, print with layers that aren't parallel to the xy-plane, printing extreme overhangs, negative overhangs, etc.
