When they opened a brick and morter store in Boston, I remember walking in with a real sense of excitement but walking out without any interest in becoming more involved in the 3D printing scene.<p>If anything, seeing the printers in action made me realize just how inessential their product seemed from a layperson&#x27;s point of view.<p>For all of the potential 3D printing has, at the moment it is a solution looking for a consumer problem, and most consumers aren&#x27;t looking to make custom figurines or embossed text.<p>A few months ago, I walked by the storefront and it was totally empty. Apparently I wasn&#x27;t the only one disillusioned by seeing their product up close.
