There are some projects out there that do the entire frame. Steppers, hotend, and control boards are out of reach. There’s some hypothetical ways you could do it, but it’d be far more expensive than buying off the shelf stuff and probably get worse results. Even the frames tend to take a lot of filament.
It’s more of a nice idea than something practical.

There is a piece of software which will take a word document and convert it into an embossed 3D print file. So you could always just skip the middleman and 3D print yourself a plaque version of your document instead.

Just print it, roll some ink on it and slap a sheet of paper on top. There you go, printing 2.0 or something.

That sounds like a 15th century printing press with extra steps.

Kind of, but with less wood and a lot more micro plastics. That’s how you can tell it’s modern.
