This is great, but not that useful for most - you can't scale and replicate this at a large scale - you need specific parts, and you can't guarantee that you'll find them.

And you can't use it as a blueprint for recreating the printer out of mismatching e-waste, because most people lack that kind of thinking and the engineering ability that this inventor has.

Awesome for one person/village, not awesome for everyone else sadly...
