It’s awfully convenient that $300-$2K is the same as the price range for a consumer 3D printer. My house is full of 3D printed kipple, but I could do without all of it except my 3D printed towel rack. That would have cost $5, but instead it cost $0.25—and two hours of my design time. So I would need to print 63 more towel racks for this study to not be bullshit in my house.
My career depends on 3D printing expanding, but it’s shit like this that proves to me 3D printing has crested the hype cycle. The uninitiated are going to read this, get a cheap 3D printer, expect to print the world, and get disappointed. Besides, there is nothing indispensable to print yet. There is so little market for 3D printed stuff in the home today.
