Why don't we see craft stores like Michaels, and CraftStop or Electronic stores like Best Buy selling 3D Printers? Seems like something just about anyone that is into crafts or Electronics would love to see in action. I think that if they did sell them in Craft & Electronic stores, and had them on display, so many more people would be interested.
I don't think the general public is ready yet and most printer aren't friendly users.
I know staples are starting to carry 3d system printers.
Every time I step into a Best Buy I wonder why they don't have any 3D printers. After all, the novelty of Best Buy is as a glorified showcase store.
The Microsoft Store carries Makerbots. I think it's time for places like Best Buy or Fry's to have 3D printers.
