  A 3d printer does not have to be connected to a PC at all to function.

    It doesn’t in some niche and limited capabilities. That’s like saying some hot rods don’t have to run gasoline. Sure. There are some with electric motors and they can keep up. But they have drawbacks.

      It’s not a niche capability. You load the instructions onto an SD card and plug it into the printer. Every one I’ve used is capable of this and for many it’s the preferred way of operating. If you don’t know what you’re talking about just stop.

        And how do you load information on that SD? Computers. Stop being a dick and acting like somewhere in the chain it can’t be checked. You won’t admit you’re wrong and it shows me you’re a fuckin idiot.
