Is 3d printing worth it?

[wolfkinara]

Hi All,I am considering getting my first 3d printer and I am wondering if it is really worth it? Like is a roll of filament really gonna cost less than getting a new "thing"? I understand that it allows you to make custom objects but for general use (such as replacement parts and enclosures) is it worth the money?Also how much does it cost in the long run and how much is 1KG filament enough for?10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254 hotmail.com Many Thanks,A newcomer
