Someday people in high places will realize that shutting down torrent sites is a useless and futile endeavor.

Or maybe someday legislators will be able to pass another SOPA somehow.

Any source to that timeframe? I believe there will be a TON of stuff 3D printers can't print. For example anything with an integrated circuit. The only things I really see suffering from this are more basic things like enclosures, action figures, anything composed of a handful of basic materials.

They would also be of much lower quality, for example a 3D printer capable of producing Legos to the same degree of precision as the large factories would render them completely impractical.

The things this would hurt the most are bullshit overpriced things like any sort of Apple adaptor dongle or cable.

The thing is, "printing" is likely to get redefined if you ask me. The 3D printers at the moment can only glue together some powdery chemical to make objects. But certainly, people will try to push that further, condensing conductor lines onto surfaces by using some kind of removable mask or maybe static charge patterns like a regular laser printer these days doesn't sound that far fetched does it? And while they're at it, why not give the printer a few more robotics, put in an exchangeable tool head so it can swap the glue gun for a laser, soldering gun, etc.? Of course that's going to be expensive as shit (at least for quite some time). But i think, materializing rather complex objects through multi-tool-headed "printers" is more likely to be invented than star trek like replicators using energy/matter conversion, don't you think?

*If* printers ever get this advanced and cheap enough so enough people own one, it's going to be one hell of a market mixup. Any product, that is printable, will basically no longer be sellable for more money than the printer components needed for it. This *will* kill stuff like far overpriced mac adapter cables mentioned above for instance, but you also have to see that it will not kill everything manufacturable. Printing stuff at home will either be done a) out of convenience or b) because of the price. But if you need like a ton of pins for your pin board or something, those will still likely be cheaper in the store, because a dedicated machine for building these things will do it cheaper and a lot faster than a capable-of-everything generic printer. Even stuff like legos will be cheaper from the store than printing them yourself, at least in terms of production cost, due to dedicated machines producing them at far greater speeds. Several companies would likely have to adapt their sale prices though, to be competitive with the generic printers at home.

When 3D printing comes of age, pornography will grab twice the share of the internet it currently has now.
