Having used 3d printers I know the objects produced are ascetic not functional.....that is the material and quality is vastly inferior to items manufactured by other processes. I for one would not like to be a passenger in a space station made from 3d printed parts

A friend builds "quadcopters" (quotes because some are tricopters). He uses 3D printed parts. They are hideously ugly but they are durable, fit perfectly, and fulfill their function. His toys are amazing.
