Household 3D printers pay for themselves in short order

But imagine when you do need something. A new hamster food bowl, a lawn mower blade, a car mirror.

These printers don’t just disintermediate every middle man in the global value chain - they strip them out and toss them aside like little bones after Godzilla’s lunch.

A 3-D printer can’t currently print any of those except a hamster food bowl, which you could more easily re-purpose or make from other junk lying around the house.
