    They didn’t make this distinction but I think there is a clean line separating 3D printing like “I’m printing a mini for my TTRPG” and 3D printing like “I’m printing 15,000 discrete armor plates to assemble my mech cosplay.”

    Basically, if you are printing parts to assemble something than you are still assembling something. If you print out a thing that you’re immediately “using”, eh…you just had something delivered.

      If you design and print the thing though, that is still creating something, just using different tools to construct the thing that you visualised in your mind.

        Oh, well, yeah. You made the design.

        I hold no exclusionary love for handmade crafts. I just know I’ve downloaded things off the internet that got printed, but I would never claim I made those things.
