Eventually, according to Popular Science a few months back, the average guy will have a 3D printer in the home for making replacement parts for whatever breaks - like a knob for the washing machine.

I think they will be in Staples / Office Depot in a few years. Already there is a desktop version for around $2500 - the difference in that machine and the ones like you typically use in product design is resolution. The $2500 machine does not match up to the $35,000. machine.
