I just don't have a Cricut or the willingness to get one (or several; stuff will break) to hack on. :)
The FluidNC ESP32 Rodent Motherboards seem a bit more modern. May grab one unless I find something better over the weekend.

bCNC has surface probing so is probably also better than Circut for blade wear... good use for an old laptop or Pi =3
