I fix copiers as a day job, and I go into alot of schools every week (alot...) and pretty much all of them have 3D printers now, even in remote country schools. My daughters school got theirs about 6 months ago, luckily my kids have had a bit of an advantage considering they have been tinkering with them for years now with me, so it's been good to see them teach other kids how they work.
