How large is your 3 printer? Do you know of a power generator that fits
in a cubic foot? (Thermal, maybe? like what NASA uses for inerplanetary
probes?)

 Only if your printer can print plutonium-238.
 

Any inkjet can print *that*,  but as Shakespeare's Hotspur says 'does it then go critical...?'

I was brought up to believe that you should never give offence if you can avoid it; the new culture tells us you should always take offence if you can. There are now experts in the art of taking offence, indeed whole academic subjects, such as 'gender studies', devoted to it.
