From the comments here, it looks like 3D printing has hit the trough of the hype cycle.<p>Nonetheless, I&#x27;m a fan.<p>I&#x27;ve designed and printed about a dozen objects in the last week.  None of them are world changing, all of them could have been made some other way, and none of them are high strength or high precision.  Some of them had to be postprocessed with an X-Acto knife. (-:  But it&#x27;s darned convenient to spend a few minutes drawing CAD, then an hour (or two hours) later have a part good enough to solve my immediate problem.
