PrintSaw

Sitting on a table is something that looks like a computer printer, but has a rotating saw at the front behind some safety perspex. A piece of paper is sitting at the top ready to be printed on, a block of wood sits to the side. The device says PrintSawPro on it.

Now that I had everything I needed to successfully mine into the centre of the Earth…

…I realised that I didn’t have everything I needed.

The most important thing that I needed that I didn’t have was the map for the next stage of the mine glued to a piece of wood.

The problem with just having a piece of wood is that it doesn’t have the map of the mine on it. And a map on its own is flimsier than a piece of spaghetti that’s boiling in a pan of water.

And the last time I had a map with the structural integrity of boiling spaghetti I went the wrong way round a corner and started tunnelling up instead of down.

That is not a mistake I wish to repeat.

But how was I going to make my stable map? It might be a problem for somebody like you, but not for me, because I have PrintSaw.

PrintSaw is a combination colour printer and saw! It has everything you need to print things and chop things, or even both!

It even has a special mode called WasteTime which routes everything you print to automatically be sawed up. Ideal for creating really complicated puzzles.

I immediately set to work crafting around 100 blocks of wood and printing the same number of maps.

Now, I will admit there is one slight drawback: using the saw and printer at the same time can cause vibrations which mildly upset the alignment of the printer. But really would you prefer to have a map with slightly wonky lines on it, or a map so floppy that you are literally going the wrong way? I think I know which I would want and that’s why I use PrintSaw, and you should too. Get one today!

Note to self: Develop the PrintSawPro with built in gluing functionality. It will save a lot of extra work… and be far less sticky!
