You could use a 3D printer to make an old-school Gutenberg printing press. Only useful if you want to print a large number of something, but it could be done. Instead of movable type, I would just 3D print out entire pages as raised letters on a flat plate. Then run ink over the press, put some paper down, and turn the screw.
Yes!! A 2d printer that you can assemble with 3d printed parts. Let’s do it. Which technologies can we use to 2d print that are easy to assemble?
