That makes sense. Yeah, I’d love to see someone do that. If anyone ever turns up a project like that, even if it’s like five years after this comment was posted, feel free to share it here.

As would I!
Though I also did find a few interesting links about people attempting to make FOSS printers earlier after getting inspired by this comment, which I share here now:

Also a discussion on open source printer firmware here: hackaday.io/…/6176-why-is-there-no-open-source-fi…
Honestly, that Open Tools one looks really interesting to me (it can be wall-mounted!!) but I can’t for the life of me figure out when the project was last updated to see if it’s currently active or defunct.

My personal big suspicion is that the legally required anti-counterfeiting measures for printing (those near invisible yellow dots that color prints require) has prevented this from happening yet, but surely there must be some way.
