Did a 3D printer ever come in handy for you or is it basically a toy?

(I know nothing about them, but I need to know.)

Thanks.

I know the kind of one line HATE HATE HATE this will draw by my not having a 3D printer so should NOT be responding at all. But as people say today, the word "printer" triggered me. I just HAD to express my JOY at the Epson Ink TANK printer I purchased just a month ago. No words to adequately describe how many pages this thing prints on a filling of ink, it goes on forever. Former printer cartridges cost minimum of $56 and did not make that many copies at all. Fortunately, friend who has had an ink tank printer and recommended we take a close look at this Epson model (2800 I think it is, NOT the top of the line), also told me that ink ordered from an one line company for about $5 or less a bottle, WILL NOT harm the printer and give vibrant prints. So, if you are wondering about ink tank printers, every good thing I heard has turned out to be true. For just average users (I use mine a LOT for my hobbies), ONE filling of the ink tanks would last more than a year. What a savings !
Nope, never worked for Epson, or any printer or tech company...just so happy I made this purchase !
