@polychrome (but they're super ugly compared to the toddler stuff, of course.)
@polychrome here's the one my toddler uses; I found it on the curb about a year ago. They have expansion ports that break out the bus! There was a post on hackaday not too long ago with the pinout. They're just Z80s under the hood.
@ranjit I'm just doing my best to keep this from veering into Diamanda Galas territory
@polychrome VTech kids stuff is beautifully engineered, but they're tricky to hack because they're basically just a single blob. I pulled one of my kid's apart a while back: https://youtu.be/RFOysmNrZU4
They did make a line of "precomputers" in the 90s that run BASIC out of the box, tho

@cypnk there are a lot of really hard problems in inkjet; micromachining nozzles, bubble/piezo drivers, getting just-so ink viscosity and good quality control. Inkjet cartridges are actually kind of a steal. Folks are trying to roll their own:

I think the reason there's no DIY 2d community is that you can get used/discarded 2d printers of all stripes for free. It's way easier and more efficient to get a dot matrix out of the trash and fix it than build one from scratch.
@lorenschmidt Fast inverse square root? It's just a few multiplies iirc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root
