The thing is, this isn't something that your average joe would even consider buying even if it has the 'sexy form'.
To make use of this the person would need to know what 3d printing is, know where to get models or make 3d models (doubtful), get materials and then spend time printing and perfecting.
Not something the average user would do no matter how "sexy" the packaging is for this. If they really wanted something made that they'd managed to design, they would likely go with one of the many online companies that offer 3d printing as a service and offer a wide variety of materials and sizes (without the person having to invest in a 3d printer up front or learning how they work).
As another poster mentioned above, I personally would much rather go with something like the Solidoodle machine which is half the price; not as sexy but I'm not sure that the target market for 3d printing at this time is looking for "sexy".
One day when 3d printing becomes more mainstream and much cheaper (200-300 range and buy it at Best Buy/Target), I could see the sexy form factor and wifi becoming something to have.

Looking at the examples shown on their home page, i.e. bracelets, toys, etc. I am wondering why I would pay $1,300 for this device instead of buying those same things for $1/dozen down at the "Everything For A Dollar" shop.
