I have made something similar before for my Ender 5:

It's definitely possible and the biggest challenge is making gcode that is compatible with Marlin. I've tried using gcode substitution commands in Prusaslicer as well as programs like FlatCAM and gotten good results out of it. You could indeed just tape it to the toolhead and set your home coordinates manually.

Try reading the gcode it produces. For cutting it should only have G1 X Y Z commands but it relies on a set home position.

You can set the home position in Marlin using G92 X0 Y0 Z0 and the run the gcode from there.

I think that demons shooting in predictable arcade-patterns requires more explanation than the parrying mechanic. The game looks more like those old schmup games like Ikaruga or something.

Indeed I'd have to play with the distance between the printed plastic and the nozzle as well as air pressure, otherwise it's a silly string machine. But that seems to be the easy part.

Well. I didn't mean if part cooling was even necessary at all. Of course it is when printing anything with overhangs. I wanted to replace blower fans with a small compressor on the side of the 3D printer.

Nice, that is indeed what I meant. Recently I've designed a new toolhead for a 3D printer but have just used blower fans and fan ducts like any other toolhead but while designing I wondered if more weight/volume could be removed without losing functionality.

That there is precedence makes me want to design another version of the toolhead.

Cuttlefish or asparagus?

FreeCAD has improved a lot though with the 1.0 update.

I enjoyed that game so much I immediately went for platinum.

Is this necessary?

This meme is so old that iPhone had physical home buttons.
