There's a tool called PRET - the Printer Exploitation Toolkit -- "the tool that made dumpster diving obsolete" -- that some of you might find fun and useful. You can use it to test which print protocols (ps, pjl, pcl) the printer uses, and then send files to print directly using one of them. It has a bunch of other interesting functionality too.

I assume it's because there's only so much of that heat that the globs could radiate into space as (infrared) light.

Maybe someone familiar with the intimate details of blackbody radiation could chime in here?

This is exciting stuff for MatSci people. There are likely other interesting materials that could be made using this process, including the other alloys found in iron bearing meteorites. I expect that the process can be modified and extended.

Update: I found a solution to a particular problem, representing twisted pairs with bends in a cable without the hassle of sloppy line thickness settings, or making sure every bounding area is perfectly joined and closed for hatch fill: to do it in Solidworks instead ('fit spline' FTW!) and export to dwg... lol
