I was once asked by my school principal to make a 3D printer “move around” at some school fair. The printer was a cheapest chinese reprap assembled by clueless people. I wanted so bad to be the one assembling it or to help fix it but “it wasn’t my responsibility”. They brought the dead machine to the fair anyway cause it looked cool but it would’ve been much cooler if it worked, and I would’ve gotten into 3D printing three years earlier than I did.

I don’t know why I’m sharing this hardly relevant information but man I’m still salty about it.
