YMMV on that.

well this is simply bull. i had some intensive hands on with a lot of the big name 3D printers at CES, and they CAN print ready to use utensils, play-with-able toys, ect, at the touch of a button. I've seen it with my own eyes.
does it take a while to print? yes, no question about it. but it sure as hell can be done.

I think the subtext of MDBS's comment was, with over-the-counter, plug & play systems, not the current systems which are some-assembly-and-lots-of-knowledge-required.
Zoe: Oh my god. <3
I really have nothing else to say that wouldn't just be excessive gushing and offers to bear your metaphorical children.
mtmerrick:
It's pretty freakin easy to print something. Open your supported 3D CAD program, load your model, click print.
That's it.

The problem is that the current hobbyist-grade stuff requires a lot of tweaking before it'll reliably get to that point.
mtmerrick:
Ah, that's the part I was missing. Can't say anything as far as the setup process goes.
