Household 3D printers pay for themselves in short order

Let me know when a 3D printer can make a Star Trek replicator, because that’s what a lot of people seem to think they are.

I typically buy things that will last many years with the intention of keeping them that long. I only have two plastic plates, and few plastic cups, and all my plastic flatware came from take out places… I wouldn’t buy a plastic shower head, and I most certainly wouldn’t trust a 3D plastic printed plumbing part (not over the next 20 years).

Like a lot of others have said, it’s a good technology and coming along nicely, but it’s not going to replace Amazon anytime in the near future.
