Are there any open source printers? I know that 3d printers have many open source designs and they perform ok.

I keep looking and asking this all over the place, haven't found one yet. I don't see why not, it's basically a 3d printer with two axes instead of 3 and toner ribbon cartridges are ubiquitous, much much cheaper than filament. I don't understand why nobody has done this, I might go ahead and do it one day down the road if it doesn't happen before I get around to it.
