    If my 3D printer has a problem, it’s not working properly.

    When my 2D printer throws a fit, it’s because it’s doing its job of being a vicious piece of shit perfectly.

    Important difference.

      3D printer: failed the print because you tried to print a whole ass gun in 30 minutes. 2D printer: failed the print because you tried to print a picture of a duck and the DRM detected it as a copyrighted image.

    The thing is, we definitely could have 100% reliable printers with good reparabilty, but capitalism gotta capitalism

      Page comes out decaying, crumbling, “send help” message scrawled across it because you forgot to refill the time dilation cartridge

      • I mean you could. It would be slower more expensive and less practical than inkjet or laser printing, but there is nothing keeping you from fixing a piece of paper in the 3d printer and have it “write” on it with the molten plastic.

    The irony is that making an Open Source 3D Printer is far more accessible and affordable than making an Open Source 2D printer.

    we have nailed 2D printers. enshittification in the name of profits ruined them. i recommed epson eco-tank printers by the way. no subscription and one 10€ bottle lasts for hundreds of pages.

    In my 10 years of being a High School Robotics teacher i find that my group has less problems with the 3d printers than the 2d printers.

    The problem is we deliberately make everything wrong so that it breaks. You can’t buy a good product once capitalism gets into full swing, because everything that justified its existence was a lie and the only thing that matters is money - not the world, not the people, just this fake paper bullshit that isn’t really worth anything and is just a status symbol that allows you to buy more status symbols.

    When most people use the word removedry, this is the sort of thing they’re describing, not gay people. The word was evolving in this direction before everyone decided to pull a “satanic panic” on it.

    edit: lmfao the word is autoremoved, case in point. why we doin so much censorship here? reddit is not a model to follow
