As noted before when I first got my 3D printer I thought it would be used for some fun things but not as much use as I am using it for, it seems about 3 to 4 times a week I find another thing I can print with it to make things nicer in my life. Lately I been printing stuff for my Ham radio, and recently got some PETG to print things for my car. I forsee many many more people getting them as they can print a lot of simple stuff to make life easier, that you will not have to go out and just buy, just keep a bit of PLA (or other filiment) on hand and when a need comes up you can easlily find files online to print out to get the item. You can now download physical objects. Just download the files send them to the 3d printer, and boom you have downloaded a physical object.
