Hello there,

Wouldn’t that be a “regular” use of additional axis?  
(Normally it’s XYZA, not sure how this would be named in delta)

There are AFAIK forks of Klipper which implements 4th and higher order axis.  
Usually targeted on CNC projects.

> Hello everyone! I hope you’re spending a nice holiday season. I’ve noticed that Klipper is quite specific to 3D-printing (which is reasonable), and is missing some basic features for general CNC (i.e. applications at and beyond 3D-printing). Some of the common CNC features can be implemented as macros (see [KCNC](https://github.com/vladbabii/klippy-cnc)), but some can’t. There are several notable works on those: Probing Discussion: [Klipper CNC Feature (G38.2 gcode help) - #6 by mhier](https://klipper.discourse.group/t/klipper-cnc-feature-g38-2-gcode-help/3284/6) Fork implementing G38 on multiple pins: [GitHub - …](https://github.com/naikymen/klipper-for-cnc/)
