My dream, a fool's dream. The printer's parts can be 3d printed. Maybe a ribbon or whatever specialized bit to buy, but standardized. It's a sturdy beast. It uses sustainable ink (not unicorn's blood at 300$ a vial). It does not lock you out of using it just because you are missing a color. Software: open-source.
If anyone is working on anything remotely this, please let me know. I would fund this & share it with all the writing communities I am in.
I am begging you. Please. It's miserable.
