sixtharmy,

I'm assuming a new application will be written to support what you want to do. If you intend to use existing software and yet drive your cnc/diy-printer, it's gonna be a tough call.

My original idea is to write an application that will output required motion in modified G-Codes, i.e., XY motion in G-Codes but printhead controls are somehow encoded the Z axis. I will then have the XY motion be translated by the CNC controller but the Z axis step/dir be translated by my own PIC/AVR subsystem.
