FDM 3D printing like you can do at home, is a toy/hobby. It's great if you want to spend the time fine-tuning your printer and dealing with all kinds of brokenness, and get a mediocre result at the end. To get good results, upload the files to a service like Shapeways and use their hugely-expensive SLS printers. You'll get your printed stuff in several days and the quality will be great.
