Right??? How is my 3D printer more reliable than my paper printer???

Ross Floate@rossfloate.bsky.social

It's been said on here before, but it is INSANE that my 3D printer squirts out solid matter in 3D space and works pretty much every time but my A3 Inkjet (which cost twice as much) prints badly and even then only when it feels like showing up.
