To put this into context... my first 2d printer did text only on continuous feed paper. I can't tell you how many times I tried printing something and it would spew random letters all over the page as it was spitting paper out at a rocket pace until I had to unplug it to get it to stop. After a while, 2d printing got better to the point where, today... we don't even think about it.

Give 3D printing 5 years or so, and maybe...
