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
Can I just 3D print my documents?
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
This but mirror image it then put ink on it and press it on to paper.
Print the text as holes in a sheet and spray paint it onto the paper
Well hey then you have a 3D photocopier.
