With fullcontroll.xyz you can edit every point and its properties like speed, extrusion values or non-planar coords.

I've been developing a similar add-on for Blender called nozzleboss. https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/nozzleboss

Hopefully the user will respond as they know more than me but it’s this plugin for Blender: https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/nozzleboss I personally haven’t got it working properly yet but there’s some pretty cool stuff that it seems to be capable of.

Sculpting G-code with Blender... Still doing different experiments to modify printing paths in Blender. It's a really cool and flexible approach, since you have all of Blenders modelling tools at your disposal, sculpting is just one example. Makes use of nozzleboss, a G-code importer/generator/exporter add-on I've been working on. Made a mini video tutorial for an overview of the process of how to create complex patterns with relatively simple means.

It'd be great to have something like a non-random fuzzy skin, but perhaps some pre/post-processing could work too? I feel like this awesome blender plugin could be a good post-processing starter

Every layer gets divided into 5 sublayers, so printing time is 5x. G-code paths were manually created in Blender and exported with nozzleboss add-on, which allows you to assign colors to single toolpaths.

There is an addon for blender (blender.org) called nozzleboss (https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/nozzleboss) that allows you to import gcode and modify it real time and export it again. you could use spines for curves not sure about vectors tho. this is what I found about vector vs vertex: "A 'vector' is a mathematical concept; crudely, it represents a displacement in some coordinate space. A vertex is an element of some 3D (or 2D, really) geometry which typically has a position and some other attributes (color, texture coordinates, et cetera)." Hope this helps.

Not sure why it was removed: https://github.com/Heinz-Loepmeier/nozzleboss

I wrote a python library for directly generating GCode when I was working at a university lab that needed more direct control over their very high end 3D printers. You can check it out here:

Its been a few years since I have worked on it but from what I understand the lab members are still using it.
