Hacking the CR30 to print in layers

Belt printers like the CR30 represent the most amazing innovation in 3D printing since... 3D printers! But this amazing innovation comes at a cost. Is it worth being able to print long prints if you can't even print a chibimal? Can the printer be tricked into printing in layers like a regular printer?
