The whole thing is intended to work from 3D printed punch cards.
I'm not sure how much of this project actually works, but it is interesting.

I'd probably also pick some kind of "punched" card; a print of some kind with holes in one place and not in another. The presence of a hole could be checked with a bed probe if everything was lined up correctly. I doubt the plastic would be intact for centuries like you want, but it would certainly outlast the printer you use to read it. A paper card would probably last longer though.
For high density, your best option is probably microfilm.
- anfractuosity 8mo agoWow that printer is fascinating! Good point re. film, related to that see - https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/ https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/
