Once such a machine exists it could gather sunlight and materials that it's sitting on, and produce on call whatever product anybody wants to name, as long as somebody knows how to make it and those instructions can be given to the machine.[2][3]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xedwcyt66vs5l4j4fnvqf4b4/bafkreicctb7cvf35fillbz25ebpjp3wmkf2ihflxmt6wulvxigjdrdd6ta@jpeg)

We had this in my British primary school. The pens in question were fountain pens though, which I think makes it make a little more sense since using those poorly can make quite a mess.
