Just wait, someday there will be 3d printers that can assemble individual elements and then we can print off any old machine we like
That's already the case with a lot of things. I have a 3D scanner and printer for fixing things. Just the materials are limited to plastics that don't need to take on load bearing tasks. I could use stronger plastics, though, if I was willing to deal with the fumes.
