My 13 year old nephew has been wanting a 3D printer for over a year now. His father (my brother) thinks he is too young to own and operate one. I however feel that he could easily learn how to use it (with help from his Uncle - me). I'm willing to purchase him a Cube 3D Printer but his father still is unsure. What are you opinions? Is 13 too young to own and operate a 3D printer, or would it be beneficial to his education and well being?

I'd love to hear your opinions.

Thanks!
