I built one from an ancient, industrial robot. Its been a learning experience to say the least. In terms of things that I've done with it, I stopped going out and buying moderate-sized containers for things and opted to print, I used it to fill in miscellaneously broken / worn down things (refrigerator door handle) and it spurred off designing stuff from scratch -submersible thrusters: http://transistor-man.com/PhotoSet/cnc_prop/P1120143.JPG http://transistor-man.com/PhotoSet/cnc_prop/P1120143.JPG -battery holsters: http://transistor-man.com/PhotoSet/3dprints/P1130812.JPG http://transistor-man.com/PhotoSet/3dprints/P1130812.JPG Its time consuming, but it depends if you want a tool or a project.
