It would have to be a fairly low rental cost, I mean ALDI are selling 3D printers for a few hundred dollars. I wonder if they are going to charge through the nose for consumables? or how it's going to work, people that rent will need something to print in.. and a decent amount, min 250gms.. so rental, $10 base for filament.. the machine, maintenance, etc.. will be interesting to see if it turns a profit.

think it's just in the states.

Good idea.
