Should you invest in a 3D printer for your home yet?

    John points out that currently many schools have installed 3D printers for projects and, with time, it can be a good device for homes as well. Cost of ownership for an FDM desktop 3D printer is a lot cheaper compared to an SLS printer. A do-it-yourself FDM printer, which can print small objects, starts from ₹18,000.

    As of now, I think 3D printer technology is still under progress. They need serious upgrades before they are widely used by household people. But if you still looking to use one, get one on rent from Kuknus: https://kuknus.com/

    Not until it becomes common for appliance makers to routinely open source the spare parts for their equipment.

    Otherwise, this is just a toy for people who want to make plastic figurines of themselves.

    If you are a hobbyist, then by all means! They are getting more affordable all the time!
