MakerBot's new 3D printer was revealed at a event in Brooklyn, NY today, and although the 3D printer isn't a household item yet, this iteration brings the concept closer to ubiquity. 3D printers lay down PLA plastic to form actual objects from computer files, and since they've become small enough to fit in most homes a surprisingly robust community has grown around sharing plans online.  These plans range from silly pieces that connect Lego and K'nex to useful replacement parts for electronics. With 3D printers, you can literally fabricate these things in your home.
The MakerBot Replicator 2 looks like the 3D printer to own.
