That would be a solution, indeed. I'll keep it in mind as an alternative to messing with the kins. The most promising solution right now seems to be the dynamic generation of the G-Code with all offsets and rotations, but I'll see what will offer the best effort/outcome ratio :) Thanks to everyone for all these suggestions in such a short time, you're great!
