MODERATORS
It's funny because anecdotally, the entirety of the FOSS movement was started because Richard Stallman was tilted that he had the know-how to fix the printer at the lab he worked at, but was not legally allowed to.
You'd think "Printers" would have been the first thing the FSF would have tried to create.
It does seem ironic that we have opensource 3d printers before 2d printers.

As someone who's assembled a couple of FDM* 3D printers and disassembled a number of 2D printers, the latter is usually a lot more complicated mechanically (varies a lot by features provided, like double-sided print).
