Specifically the type of printer that prints using spools of plastic filament, but that seems like the most common type anyway
Btw our heads are very slowly 3-D printing our hairs…
Also, our fingers are printing fingernails.
Maybe 2D is more accurate description.
Hair is three dimensional.
You’re going to love/hate 3D printer pens
I didn’t know this was a thing and I want one.
Really fun thing to play around with, although it requires some practice to do cool stuff with it.
Those are plotters, not printers.
Yup, this is how I explain FDM printing to friends. It’s like a giant hot glue gun, layer one layer at a time. Except instead of a giant hole for glue, it’s a 0.4mm hole, really tiny.
It’s exactly how I described it to my friends
They said “omg u have a 3d printer” I replied “nah it’s just a glue gun on rails”
Not all printers are, but FDM printers are. SLA printers, the one uses projector and resin to makr high detailed figurines or parts with precision are basically fancy nail polish and curing light combimed.
I run a 3D printer shop and that’s what I tell customers all the time – “It’s a really tiny hot glue gun attached to a really cheap robot”
Not really, different stuff altogether. 3D pens would be probably closer.
