I know this may be a bit of an odd post, but for those of you who have purchased 3D printers, what do your friends think of it who are not tech geeks? When I got my printer, anytime anyone would come over it immediately became the center of attention. I have all kinds of requests from people asking me to 3D print them things. Sometime I do it, other times I just tell them I am too busy. We even had a little party centered around the 2 printers I now have. Gotta say it was a hit!

Two close friends have also dug into their pockets and purchased their own printers in the last 3 months. What have been your experiences involving your close acquaintances and your 3d printer?
