With how much more reliable and easy to use 3d printers are, I'm saying we need to move on to 4d printers

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Yeah, 3D printer stuff has lots of open source and open hardware going on so its a big improvement over 2D in that aspect

Page comes out decaying, crumbling, “send help” message scrawled across it because you forgot to refill the time dilation cartridge

I've never had a driver problem with my 3D printer

Can I just 3D print my documents?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean you could. It would be slower more expensive and less practical than inkjet or laser printing, but there is nothing keeping you from fixing a piece of paper in the 3d printer and have it "write" on it with the molten plastic.

See...I was imagining you'd 3D print the whole thing: paper with text

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This but mirror image it then put ink on it and press it on to paper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Print the text as holes in a sheet and spray paint it onto the paper

Well hey then you have a 3D photocopier.
