Over the last couple years we really started seeing 3D printers you can buy and turn on and out of the box they will support printing over wifi or even over the internet

which means it is purely a matter of time before someone is sent a three-dimensional black fax

espECIALLY with them newfangled multi-material printers. wake up in the morning and your entire build volume is just a solid cube of all the filaments you own

A black fax, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is an ancient DoS attack where you would tape the ends of a piece of entirely black paper together and use that as the input for a fax machine. You'd then send this completely black and endless signal to a fax machine operated by someone that you hate, ideally one that's unattended, so that you could make it spew all of its paper and toner very efficiently.

Holy shit this is a genuinely great devious idea

And I bet you those devices are much, MUCH less secure than other devices on corporate networks

The engineers in my building (just MY building, not even the main building) have a dozen printers, easily. Filling them all with ABS bricks would be fucking hilarious
