3d print might get big in future, when price of it is going to go down.
For me it is similar to cellphones in 90s
It's going to be big regardless of price.

It's going to be big regardless of price. Yeah, it's still going to be massive for technology and science / medicine even if ordinary people cant afford them initially, but they will be fairly soon.

you don't understand the basic point there aren't many advantages of it but the main thing why it's so awesome is that it gives us the option to imagine that one day anything we see online we could simply print out and use it no more waiting for things to come from eBay just use your god damn printer ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Then there would be no need for BTC, except to buy new replicators.

Well, I was also thinking the same. The 3D printers are so expensive right now, but one day maybe everyone would be able to afford it just like 2D printers. Wait.. can't I just 3D-print a 3D printer? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Today there isn't a single printers that does everything, there are 3d printer that can make most of the mechanical parts but from there you'll need the rest of the parts

I want to say no it is not. You can build you own things for cheap so I don't see how that is a negative in anyway.

As far as I know, you need to use a single material to print a single object. Now if I have a toy which consists of plastic, some rubber and some metal, I will need to print it in 3-part process and assemble them manually, right?
That's a big hurdle. Maybe some day the technology will allow us to fill different materials in different cartridges (just like colors in 2D printers) and will print the whole object in one go!

I forget what they are called right now but there are more industrial 3d printers that can build things that would blow you away. They have them in colleges and places you wouldn't suspect I only seen a short video on it on the news one morning but it was pretty astonishing how how far the engineering field has come and will go in the near future.

yes, but it's still too expensive, not just the printers but the cost of the material that is used to print something that's why we look into the future for those printers ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) we need them ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
