We need an open source RepRap printer. Like, I wonder if this thing could be reverse engineered, given they still make the ink cartridge/head units for it.

What we actually need is to stop fucking printing.
We need a foldable A3 size e-ink reader that you can use like a folder.

I'd be more interested in something more iPad sized with an e-ink display that is more generally usable.

The ReMarkable tablets for example have interesting hardware but the software fits such a narrow use case and I don't think you could slap like, Linux on it or something.
