Comment on How long until I can 3D print a 2D printer?
DScratch@sh.itjust.works 8 months agoIf we shoot for a much more primitive printer, we’re pretty close.
Something that uses a pen or quill to draw on an unmoving sheet of paper. Kind of like how CNC routers are set up. The gantry moves along the full length and width of the paper.
After that, you can print everything outside the electronics and the quill. Right?

That’s just a plotter. Replace the extruder nozzle with a pen and you’re there.
