I'm wondering how and when will 3D printers make it's way into our homes. Right now it's mostly being used by businesses.

More about : printing

Typical 3D printers are expensive, are extremely size-limited for what they can produce, and are extremely slow. The plastic feedstock they use offers limited strength. I understand less-expensive models are coming out, but the other concerns remain, not to mention any possible effect of plastic vapor in the relative confines of a home.
Don't get me wrong, the concept is great, but is nowhere near ready for "mainstream."

Ask yourself this - What would you use one for?
