I've Made a Free and Open-Source GCode Importing Tool for Blender
Thanks for mentioning. Before nozzleboss I started with a simple G-code Importer, mainly focused on rendering, too. Blenders 'curve bevel' is perfect for that. Converts 2d paths into meshes. Check the first .gif here https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/Blender-Gcode-Import/wiki

I Made a Blender Addon That Renders 3D Printer GCode | Feel Free to Suggest a Name
Before spending time making a blender add on check out this add on which I have been using to render my Gcode in blender https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/Blender-Gcode-Import/wiki

How can I select all curves to modify?
When I press A to select all curves, there is one curve that is slightly lighter than the rest and when I go into the properties for that curve it only applies the change to the curve that is the slightly lighter curve. Here is a link to the process I am trying to do. https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/Blender-Gcode-Import/wiki

Waiting hands - 5 color print (bonus points if know whose hands)
The printing paths are imported into Blender and post-processed there. The wiki of the G-code importer for Blender has some visuals to give you an impression on how the paths can be further edited. For more experimental prints you can take a look at my nozzleboss IG

Sculpt G-code paths directly in Blender
Import G-code into Blender (Gcode Importer)
-Import Gcode into Blender (Gcode Importer) -Enter Edit-mode and extrude vertices in Z-axis by layer height (needed cause sculptmode only works with faces, not 2D pathes alone) -Enter sculptmode and try different tools (you can lock the Z-axis so you don't generate non-planar paths) -Enter edit mode again and delete extruded vertices (should still be selected) -Export again with Gcode Exporter Addon

Interwoven outer perimeters
Conventional Slicer, then imported to Blender and did the sinewave curve editing there.

Printed sinewave pattern that looks like knitted fabric
Thank you, the closest think right now is the docu page of my G-code Importer for Blender. It shows some manual curve editing with weightmaps inside of Blender. https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/Blender-Gcode-Import/wiki

Printed sinewave pattern that looks like knitted fabric
Go ahead, ask away. :) This was sliced with a convential slicer and only on export the coordinates get converted to bipolar with a post-processing script. So Slicer and firmware are both cartesian. Steps/mm are set as if they were steps/radians. For a full firmware solution have a look at Tyler Anderson's Theta printer https://github.com/unlimitedbacon/BipolarMarlin/ or ask around in the Duet3D forum, maybe DC42 has an idea or two. ;)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Blender-Gcode-Import and BipolarMarlin you can also consider the following projects:
gcode-exporter - Export edges paths or polylines as gcode files for digital fabrication (it's not a slicer)
GeoPattern - Create beautiful generative geometric background images from a string.
openrndr - OPENRNDR. A Kotlin/JVM library for creative coding, real-time and interactive graphics
processing - Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE)
