Very cool! Still so much innovation to be uncovered in FDM printing even today. Exciting project!

I've tried it a few days ago, clever trick, works great. BUT it's slow as hell, like 2-3 mm/s.

I’m giving it a go too. I got some noticeable warping on my first try. Shows promise, though the implantation of Orca seems a bit unstable for me running in Kinnonite. I intend to follow and test versions now and then.

Seems fine, for what it offers. It's only 1 layer that slows down that dramatically, then it should be back to regular printing speeds.

You wouldn't want to do lots of huge overhangs, still, but this method will definitely have some really cool applications.
