Never be afraid to ask, but don't demand an answer 
It was printing something and caught on fire?

Maybe. I'm not spoiling that part.

I've heard that it can happen to 3d printers if you're not careful.

That is true, although I've never seen it happen, nor heard of it happen to anyone. But there are temperatures involved that are high enough to set things on fire, so that can happen if you are exceptionally sloppy (or if you do it on purpose).

Was she printing fire?

I told you, I'm not going to spoil this!

Wait... Can you print fire?

The Athena in the DMod will be able to print some things that cannot be printed on the real one. If I want it to print fire, it will be able to do that.

The real one could be modified to lay down something flammable and then ignite it with a laser, for example. Does that count as printing fire?

I bet this dmod will be a 3d printed ad.

You mean a 3-D printer ad? I pretty much announced it as such, so that's no secret. But even though the machine has a prominent role in the story, my primary purpose here is to make it a nice DMod, showing off the machine is only secondary. That's why I make the DMod-Athena more powerful than the real one; it makes for a better storyline.
