Yes i'v seen them in action,and all i can say ,man those things are slow as fuck.It takes several days to make it.So basically unless they make 3d printers which will literally make things instantly like star trek replicator,there wont be any effect on economy,and this will stay in DIY sphere. After all,at the moment,you could make your own version of iphone,but time taken to make it's simply not worth it,better to go to store and buy finished product.
