I would think that this has been done before.
Maybe some one with the right skills can figure out a workaround.

It's another slicing program right? One that implements the "bed leveling technique" in the actual printing g-code?
Time to get it built into Slic3r!
could do it as a post processor, then you could use not only with slic3r but cura and other slicer programs, as well as being usefull for certain cnc applications

It's the quality of finish I found appealing although it's not relevant on flat surfaces.
Isn't Slic3r's "vase" option doing the same thing but only in the up direction?
I don't think so. Slic3rs vase option makes one continuous line that builds the vase. This looks like it makes individual layer but they use x y and z instead of just x and y. So it essentially makes a smooth 3 dimensional surface.

Cura already has a plugin that prints in three dimensions [www.thingiverse.com]

Dirty Steve
Would be very limited by nozzle/heater block clearances.
This is true for a machine with 3 axis motion, but a machine with higher degrees of freedom would not be as limited. Might be interesting to try this with Sextupteron or a printer based on a Stewart-Gough platform like this one.

This is interesting...
its taken slicing from the 2d layer by layer to the 3d so that a curved surface can be printed as one layer over variable Z heights
Not sure how useful it is, but it is certainly interesting.
How about adding a inkjet printhead? This will make full color 3d printing possible.
