      TPM was the 90’s, they started production in 1997, first in theaters in 99.

      and for the record, I was on my third FDM printer. or maybe my second. (depends if you count my dad’s inkjet that I strapped my mom’s hot glue gun to. Just for the record, I did ask if I could have the printer.))
