I agree that home printing of toys is a compelling application. It doesn't take much imagination to foresee ads for action figures, dollhouse parts, or game pieces based on TV shows (or their internet equivalent) that kids can download and print at home. Getting the kids to design their own printable toys is more of a stretch, but with the right software I could see it happening. What's really needed, though, is a printer with a hopper and grinder instead of a filament spool, so the kids can throw in their old toys and make new ones without needing more material.
