Makes me wonder if it’s possible to make a biological printer in the far future. Creating organisms using synthetic RNA.

Isn't the RNA-based covid vaccine made with something similar you describe?
And also there are printers for stem cells, with which they create new organs etc. Synthetic biology is not from far future, it has been here for a decade or so.
