I wonder how feasible an open source printer would be, like the open source 3d printers.

Possible, but the tolerances would be a lot for people. Also, one would need a solid stream of supplies.

Which is kinda funny if it's easier to make a printer that can print objects vs a printer that can print on surfaces. Like it's harder to draw a picture of an object than it is to create an instance of that object.

The idea is pretty ironic. If one was patient enough, they could design a CAD machine that would write out their prints. I believe I had seen them before. The problems with that machine are speed and efficiency.
