We needed a new printer, so I suggested to office manager responsible for purchasing supplies to get a nice high end one. We do lots of printing and need high quality prints for clients.
Response was they had approval to spend significant and to get a top of the line model.
Couple days later. new printer. fitted. tested.
I look around the corner and see the new printer.
That's a 3D printer.
Supplies: Yeah, isn't it great. Top of the line, just what we wanted.
Me: but I can't print a word document to that.

so, print one then

First World issues  , at least you got a 3D printer, I asked to use ours I have to fill out so many forms it just looses it's appeal...

Well... imagine the disappointment if it had been the other way around!

Well, you could use it to print yourself a... printer.

I have been thinking about printing a better 3D printer with my small 3D printer. There are many open source projects, so that's not a new idea. Still, I would have to buy lots of separate parts, like a microcontroller board and a display, stepper motors, bearings, the extruder(s), the (heatable) print bed or even simple screws.

I read something about a fellow named Guthenberg who created 3D models of each letter, in a way that allowed him to put together these letter pieces in frames and then produce an arbitrary number of copies of the text. Maybe he patented this mechanisms, I am not sure. If he didn't, maybe you could created something similar for prouducing letters to your customers.

Seems like you just about ready to switch to CURSivE ?

Sure you can. What slicer do you use? Cura? I know that you can 'feed' it with text files and pictures. It's another question if you really want what you are going to get then.

Reverse the text image and print with raised characters. Then some ink, a roller and you can print on blank paper of almost any type!

Ok, Gutenberg, how about 3D printing lots of separate letters and then assembling them in a wooden frame before printing. This way the letters can be reused many times.

An even better idea! Well Done!

They misunderstood. A 3D printer is needed to print a document. A regular printer is needed to print the contents of a document. You got what you asked for.

But you can take a screenshot of the document, and blend it to a 3D model of a helix.

You just need to make a flat and very, very thin 3D model.
