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

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?

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 4 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

[–] Belgdore@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

Well hey then you have a 3D photocopier.

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