This could potentially be a big deal and at the same time could be nothing.

One of my classrooms got a 4 color printer in 2nd grade. My mind was blown.

Is that stuff durable? Someone once made a 3D printed bike and it snapped it half b/c of the stress.

Amazing technology, but I think the real mass home printer market is a way's off. The industrial sector printers are much more immediately applicable.

Yep, probably true. But once it takes off this could be the next big innovation just like smart phones have changed daily life so much.
