    Laser printers exist today. We can’t make FOSS ones because of patent encumbered technology. Some day that will not be the case.

    The printer from the parent particle has “off-the-shelf print heads and ink cartridges”. Why would a laser printer equivalent need molecular level printing instead of using off the shelf components that exist today?

      How do you plan to fab the print element there? What part are you going to source? Just give me the smallest bit of a plan for this and I’ll give you a pass. Because I honestly think you have no idea what you are getting yourself into.
