I'd be worried about leaving that 3D printer for too long before it begins to consider its lowly position in the world order.
You'd get into work one morning and you'd be like, "Hey, cool, they had another 3D printer delivered". But now you got yourself a real problem as both printers are busy churning out copies of themselves every 24-hours.
After a week out of the office you be coming back to 4,294,967,296 printers and Tom with anything but a Blank expression on his face.
