Fun fact: the entire Free Software movement exists because Richard Stallman got pissed off at Xerox one day, for not giving him the source code so he could fix his printer.
People have attached pens to 3d printers and used them to write letters, effectively print. Most consumer 3D printers are useing or based on open source software.
I think the issue is, printers are relatively cheap to buy and replace. So building your own and programming it hasn’t been necessary.

Something you couldn’t easily buy.
