Should you get a 3D printer for Christmas? The answer, unless you’re really tech-savvy, is a resounding “no.” The dirty little secret of 3D printing is that the best stuff you can make, at least in the beginning, is the stuff that comes preloaded on the printer, which isn’t very creative. We saw Star Wars “Yoda” heads and oddly shaped vases. When you start trying to create stuff on your own, good luck. The user forums are filled with exasperated customers. We like Tony Hoffman’s comment in PC Magazine. For gifts, he gave his children the stuff he printed in 3D. “Can we have a real present?” they asked.
