I wonder if you could design these to basically 3d print a frame and then attach cardboard , piece of fabric, or something on the front.
to reduce the filament use and print time.
This is kind of a big print. Good idea though.
Perhaps. But instead of a peice of fabric, maybe use a high resolution picture of someone's asshole?
I like the ideas you bring to the conversation

Color printers are snitches.
I can draw.
Well spotted.
Or a photo of an empty road. They'll just think the traffic is really light.
Seems to me like this could be modified to mount a laser pointer to point directly into the lens without having to stand in front of the camera to aim it.
They do work better/faster at closer range.
