That sounds like a fine business opportunity for someone trained in the use of a 3D printer: you run the thing, other people just pay you and pick up their new stuff. Such businesses could become as common as any other small convenience-retail outlet.

The materials are cheap, but printing is very slow and the machines tend to break often. In other words, machine time is the most expensive part for a customer. I have friends who tried making money that way; the only one who was remotely successful was a guy whose father is a respected automatic control engineer, who could forward requests for custom one-off parts to his son.
