I remember a few years ago there was all the rage about getting a slicer on Linux and being able to non-linear 3D print on a lot of regular 3D printers

People were pretty blown away and I thought it would only be a couple of years before the bigger companies started incorporating this open source non-linear 3D printing into their software

That was in about 2019 or 2020, And yet here we are in 2024 and no one has yet put non-linear 3D printing support into a commercial printer (Or at least a desktop one that the average person can buy. Such as a Bambu, Prusa, Creality, etc)

I am aware that some of the larger industrial and Aerospace printers do offer this kind of support, but also the average person isn’t going to spend $15,000 on a printer for their desktop just for this functionality
