Everyone Is a 3 D Printer

The phrase is the object here: a piece of decorative lettering for the shelf above the machine, the desk at work, or the corner of the spare room that stopped being spare the day the printer arrived. The joke works on two levels for anyone in the hobby. There is the gentle evangelism every owner ends up doing at family gatherings, and underneath it the genuine truth that a machine which used to be workshop equipment now sits in ordinary front rooms. Standing among books or on a windowsill it reads as a statement piece rather than a gadget, which is the right note for something made by the very thing it is talking about. A single-model download and a straightforward one. It makes a natural present for someone who has just bought their first printer, or a bit of self-aware decoration for someone already on their third.
