    They are nothing alike and require wildly different mechanical systems.

      Personally yeah, you can’t really stick a stack of papers into a 3d printer and print stuff as you need. Would be really cool if there was a way to use old printers and throw in a new nozzle. Maybe add an ink tank and try to work it that way maybe? We’ll be starting computer science in a uni eventually so might do that as a project. If we do that we’ll open source it so people can reuse old outdated printers from e-waste to new printers.
