if it will follow the trajectory of 2d printers... (Score 1)

Then can we please just skip the next phase of this market and go straight to the point where I can upload my files and pick my parts up at a local store in one hour for a dollar amount that doesn't force me to think twice about printing something 'just for kicks'. That is the point when it will reach the masses and transform certain markets. I think if 3d printing equipment gets as cheap as TFA suggests, where it is accessible to everyone, then it will also be a market where the equipment providers have to generate profits/revenue in ways that are ultimately annoying to the consumer. I would like to see an established retailer such as The Home Depot get on this bandwagon early. All that said, I just ordered a CubeX and can't wait for it to get to my doorstep.
