I think they are useful for custom things like if you are in need of a case for
your custom SD hard-drive simulator for a classic computer, and you print out a
bad ass replica of what the commodore 1541 drive looked like, and stick your
little usb SD drive in it. Stuff like that.

Beyond that 3D printing is going to be big in the future for 2 things:

1.. Medical... when they are full on printing replacement organs and skin for
skin grafting... it's almost there.

2.. Home purchasing and food... For when you need a new spatula and you go on
to bed bath and beyond and "purchase" the print routine for one and print your
own. Or, need food and we all have some kind of organic edible crap and some
machine with flavors all hooked up to the printer, and you call mcdonalds and
"print up" a big mac, yum.
