Personally yeah, you can’t really stick a stack of papers into a 3d printer and print stuff as you need. Would be really cool if there was a way to use old printers and throw in a new nozzle. Maybe add an ink tank and try to work it that way maybe? We’ll be starting computer science in a uni eventually so might do that as a project. If we do that we’ll open source it so people can reuse old outdated printers from e-waste to new printers.
We would absolutely love an actual open source printer you can get off the shelf parts and maybe some 3d printing and just use normal liquid ink rather than some inkjet cartridges. And no not some janky 3D printer set up to be a make shift printer, like an actual put the paper in and stuff comes out kind of printer. Prompts for a scanner and copier combo
If all your basic needs were met and you didn't have to work to get by, what would you do with your life?

Yeah, honestly we’re ok with one big price tag and little to no costs for the ink/not have to rely on shady software.
