lmao this guy
Funnily enough saw a man on the train today with one of these, he made it from a kit.
Think there's still a way to go before these are the norm. All the printed stuff I've seen in person looks unfinished, everything has a rough texture to it.
3D printing isn't useful for everything in your house, anything that's structural dependent.
I'm thinking more of metal 3D printing, but must be the same for plastic.

saw him with what exactly?
People underestimating just how far its come already; artificial limbs, jet parts, houses...
You wont use 3D printing for everything, trust me!!!
^
I don't know why anyone would think that anyway
3d printing is pretty sick. Guy at my work bought one for 2k and has it sitting on his desk. Prints a bunch of stuff over lunch times that he has modelled in a 3d package. I think his end goal is too produce cheap versions of expensive accessories like specialised camera lens cases/caps etc.
There is a lot of trial and error to it though, especially with complex objects that have extending appendages. Plus the resolution has a major effect on the printing time.
The future is something the CURRENT human brain really isn't able to even imagine.
'The second line explains why the first can't...'
In a way I agree.
But when/if stuff like 3d printing, quantum computing and the biggie transhumanism really get going this entire world will be a completely different place in every possible sense.
In the meantime 3d printing does give you a hint. Some of the things that are currently openly possible are bloody amazing.
As DRC said. Live organ being printed out. Metal 3d printers making all kinds. (Someone post the gif of the metal 3d printer at work)
30-40 years all of the above should be possible.
Muad.
Metal 3D printing is used for non-structural stuff until grain flow can be controlled. Though it is used a lot in rapid prototyping.

will be the standard in everyones yard in 10 years.
imagine been able to fix any broken item in your gaff with a click of a mouse to download a new part

The second line explains why the first line will never happen.

yh can't lie I thought the same
but I recon reverse engineering will sort out any problems I thought of tbh.

Heard it a couple times now n never understood the idea that 3d printers are gona be used to print spare parts to repair shit around ur house
Like what?

They will reverse engineer the parts.
Do google

I don't want to Google, I want you to explain what you actually mean.
