I justify the 3d-printer for printing prototypes.... of course they aren't ideal for production... At less then $200, it is well worth it.

  exactly what i use it for- prototypes, one off jigs and such, spacers etc. its so useful for stuff that needs a certain awkward geometry and fairly high dimensional accuracy. i just dont see myself ever using it for production parts, though i do have a 6 ft auger i printed which has moved tons of material by now with no problems

    It's perfect for iterating/debugging designs... I think you should tell more about the 6ft auger though! :)

      i printed the flights a quarter at a time, and the have a 1" bore so the got glued to a wooden dowel, and i also printed little alignment pins on them for assembly
