Why do you need money when you can make anything you want and need?

Because you can't make anything you need. 3D printing isn't a Star Trek replicator. You're right though that the more 3D printers develop the more they will alter the market in bigger and bigger ways.

Because you can't make everything you need and you need money to buy the materials for the printer.

If you get to keep what you print on your 3D printer, it's still capitalism.

If you don't get to keep what you print on your 3D printer, then it's socialism.

An error in the program could flood Earth with 3D printers and end life as we know it. :cool:

Design it to fail safe and not produce another printer.

Wishful thinking.
