We’ve been through this song and dance already (see this thread and this thread), but 3D printing is not as pricy as you think. You could probably buy ~50 3D printers for the price of a single ambulance ride in the US.
So should skill be a factor or not?
And on the topic of prices…
I have a feeling this would drive up the prices for game objects by a considerable amount… way more than the cost of a 3D printer…
