The entire concept of a 3D printer is mind blowing to me.
The fact that the worlds of finance and law enforcement are afraid of these is even more mind blowing.
The world of finance is quaking because there is a central implication that a 3D printer can destroy the walls dividing the haves and the have nots.
The world of law enforcement is afraid that people are going to start printing guns.
I will hold my opinions on both, as this conversation is not about that.
I am fascinated by the concept of a 3D printer. What is more fascinating is that regular printers started out as dot matrix, daisy wheel low resolution garbage (by today's standards) but that was the razor's edge. How long before I can print a new car?

Don't follow me, I'm lost too.
