I think that's a poor argument. Personal printers are on the way out. I recently got rid of my laser printer. It's large, clunky, I almost never used it (who needs things on paper anyway?). Every time I need something printed (once every two years, maybe) I would much rather go to OfficeWorks and get it done. So much more convenient than plugging the printer in just to use it. I think 3D printing is a cool niche, but I don't see it becoming a mainstream thing. People simply don't need to have physical objects produced often enough in their homes — there are odd times where it's useful, but they are rare enough that a trip to a store, or online order outweighs the inconvenience of having a large machine dedicated to a single task in your home.
