    True (E: actually not quite, he was born a little after plastic was invented), and he loved laminating shit lol though he was more in to metal work. But later in life he really got in to computers, which is why I think 3D printing would have been right up his ally, because he could use the computer to make things he might no longer have been able to with his hands, and then get to play around with all of his creations (and gift us grandkids an endless supply of things lol)…

      Wish he would’ve been around to see the things the average joe can make in the garage today. I’m glad that you’ve got fond memories of him though.

      My grandfather would probably use one to print out a similarly endless supply of things for us grandchildren, though if I taught him the basics of something like tinkercad or fusion360, the next time I visited there would be all sorts of printed brackets holding everything in place.
