I'll probably be dead for fifty years by the time I can print my own OpenSPARC processor.

Everything it prints will be plastic though, so you can't actually make it work if it's electronic. The figure industry will probably hurt the most

No, look at the site. It can print wiring and other electronic equiptment. The aim is to be able to print all of itself, and soon they think they can get motherboards printed.

fucking sweet, though making something complex like a computer would probably be extremely expensive and technologically inadequate compared to a purchased product.

Hopefully it will be able to print some simpler parts to reduce the cost like the case.

oh, absolutely. it would be a far more economic solution than buying a case filled with useless LED's and ugly pseudo-futuristic shapes.

The thing is, the manufacturing business is much larger than the media business. A lot more people will be against widespread 3D printers than there are people against music/movie piracy.

Luckily, 3D printers can print 3D printers, so all people need is someone who has a 3D printer to print them a printer.

Yes, but:
- The plastic strips are semi-expensive if they become mainstream
- The (alternative) titanium strips are even more expensive
So it'll probably still be more expensive than buying parts the regular way.
