Agreed.
I’ve seen people print 2x2 bricks, but just for fun.
One thing I’ve considered is to use a reprap to print foundations for
hills in a layout, so I only need to use bricks and plates for the
visible top layer of the hills. For that purpose I don’t need quite as
precise printing. But to do it in a way that matches my laziness, I
would have to figure out how to subtract an “easily buildable” top layer
from a landscape model, and then convert the resulting model to a reprap
friendly format.
Play well,
Jacob
