@limburger that’s pretty much the only direction it can take for it to replace buying store bought miniatures.  It has to be easy; users want to be able to just type in a printer brand or model number and be told “this is the thing you need”.  Consumer Hostile features also bring with them a high degree of convenience.  You might find that there are several different standards around which most printers are built, you may find some manufacturers go with their own bespoke cartridge design or both of these might be true. You may also find 3rd parties sell off-brand variants.

 

The games/miniatures industry isn’t big enough, or rather doesn’t have enough big players with sufficient collateral to develop the technology. In order for it to get to the level it needs, someone needs to find more use cases in order to make it worthwhile investing the money required to fund all the product development.
