All depends if you use it and get enjoyment from it. A set of Golf clubs would not be worth a $1 to me.. all depends on what you want to do and how much you will be doing.
I have learned 3d cad after buying my printer and use it on a regular basis to make things to support my other hobbies, even sell some of the adapters and custom accessories I have have designed and fabricate. Buying it to print dodads off the internet only.. probably not worth it..
