Rather than changing the cell size, just send 3 or 4 copies to the printer. Way faster

It'd have to be a bit more than 3 or 4 since you're likely increasing exponentially by increasing the size and cells can get big.

No, an increase in cell size would increase page count multiplicatively. Cells twice as tall would print the same amount as printing twice

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I was thinking in length and height, of course. Doubling both quadruples pages, and that's assuming you stop at twice the size.

☝️🤓 that would still only be a quadratic rate of increase, not an exponential rate of increase

Make it so the printer prints a copy of itself every other print.

My 3D printer printer prints only printers now
