Pneumatic or hydraulic systems

cylinders will replace hydraulics/pneumatics

1. extrude plastic using cylinders
2. cylinders to push completed print off bed
3. Move large printheads (Build a house)
4. Cylinders to level bed
5. reduce vibrations from stepper motors
6. Automated bed swapping
7. Automated spool replacement
8. Printer storage management
9. print head swapping
10. replace steppers with cylinders
11. Extrude materials other than plastic
12. Automated punching defense system
13. Print hydraulic system
14. cylinder mechanical limit switches
15. Hydraulic emergency brakes
16. Hydraulic rods as linear rods to extend print area
