Specifically the type of printer that prints using spools of plastic filament, but that seems like the most common type anyway

Also, our fingers are printing fingernails.

Maybe 2D is more accurate description.

Hair is three dimensional.

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

But the hair printer is not. It can’t make changes in third dimension.

1D would actually be the most accurate, if we were going by movement.

[-] sus@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

So is printer paper and printer ink

[-] fubbernuckin@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I think hair is a 1d printer process.
