A 3D-Printed, Comic Sans Mono Typeball for an IBM Selectric II Typewriter! Why does this font actually look so natural and fitting for a typewriter?? And it's only $8! This guy is doing the lord's work.

Compared to the machines we have today they seem cute and klunky, but these typewriters were state of the art in their day.

I wish 3D printers were more accessible. Apparently, if you have a high-res 3D printer, there’s a script on GitHub that lets you make type balls for IBM Selectrics in any font you want. I want a Comic Sans type ball for a 1980s typewriter. Now! And a Zilla Slab one too. If I had a 3D printer I’d be unstoppable.

Okay, here's my new entrepreneurial pitch. Chains provided for a nominal fee.
Along with babysitting, caffeine IV drips, silent rooms, wifi-less rooms, phone confiscation, and large bouncers to keep out pesky literary editors.
Pens, pencils, paper, a wide selection of word processors and choice of silent or clackety manual keyboard are included, but dictation services or a 1932 Remington Portable typewriter available with prior notice at market rates.
If I get funding, I'll let you know.

IBM plex is a very good font for people who have been obsessed with prestige elite for 15 years but need to be able to tell the difference between l and 1
