Wow – after reading this thread, it is clear that the cartoonists isn’t the only one who has no idea how 3D printers work.
You will not get the same kind of jam that you get with a photocopier because that is not how it works.
The 3D printing process turns a whole object into thousands of tiny little slices, then makes it from the bottom-up, slice by slice. Those tiny layers stick together to form a solid object. Each layer can be very complex, meaning 3D printers can create moving parts like hinges and wheels as part of the same object.
