@blinky465 buying and owning a 3D printer still is a bit risky as you need to spend (some) time to prep the file and then wait until it prints.
Having it done by a 3rd party that is local (to minimize shipping of the final product) has potential as you get to see the product.

You need to keep in mind that not everyone is as technological adept as we are.

It may be a temporary solution until 3d printers are fast and easy to use as 2d photoprinters, but it could be the thing that helps accellerate evolution of the technology involved.

If print time really was 60 minutes (*) we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

When photography was analog we had to endure waiting for at least a day for the finished product.
Eventually tech evolved to improve/mechanize the process and we got 1 hour printing shops.
