First World issues  , at least you got a 3D printer, I asked to use ours I have to fill out so many forms it just looses it's appeal...

Well, you could use it to print yourself a... printer.

I have been thinking about printing a better 3D printer with my small 3D printer. There are many open source projects, so that's not a new idea. Still, I would have to buy lots of separate parts, like a microcontroller board and a display, stepper motors, bearings, the extruder(s), the (heatable) print bed or even simple screws.

I read something about a fellow named Guthenberg who created 3D models of each letter, in a way that allowed him to put together these letter pieces in frames and then produce an arbitrary number of copies of the text. Maybe he patented this mechanisms, I am not sure. If he didn't, maybe you could created something similar for prouducing letters to your customers.

Seems like you just about ready to switch to CURSivE ?

Sure you can. What slicer do you use? Cura? I know that you can 'feed' it with text files and pictures. It's another question if you really want what you are going to get then.

Reverse the text image and print with raised characters. Then some ink, a roller and you can print on blank paper of almost any type!

Ok, Gutenberg, how about 3D printing lots of separate letters and then assembling them in a wooden frame before printing. This way the letters can be reused many times.

An even better idea! Well Done!

They misunderstood. A 3D printer is needed to print a document. A regular printer is needed to print the contents of a document. You got what you asked for.

But you can take a screenshot of the document, and blend it to a 3D model of a helix.

You just need to make a flat and very, very thin 3D model.

The usual controversy reigns post the Oscars. A while back my 17 year old daughter wanted to go to the movies and suggested Bohemian Rhapsody even though she knew nothing about Queen. We went and both really enjoyed the film so I'm pretty happy Rami Malek got best actor. For the rest of it "I don't give a damn."

BoRap was good - and well worth watching, even if you don't know who Freddie was.
The Green Book is supposed to be pretty good as well (8.3 on IMDB is either damn good or a lot of paid shills) so I'm surprised that got anything at all.
But most Hollywood output is tired, trite, and formulaic, sadly.

Or extremely ideological lately. When I go to a movie, I don't want to be lectured. If I feel that I need a lecture, I watch real ones on youtube.

Yes, it can become very entertaining. Not the lectures themselves, but the 'reactions' to them by idiots who want to tell an astrophysicist that the earth is flat and that they are wrong about absolutely everything.
