The Creality 3d printer is pretty cool. Its open source, and you can print upgrades for the printer. My next printing project will be printing household items and organizing the stls in my nextcloud. Would be cool to see a huge swath of plebs designing and manufacturing their own products at home.
We're probably 3 years away from plebs printing tables and chairs at home using plastic bottles, assisted by a 3d printing LLM hosted on their Start9. The pleb will sell the stl on a thriving nostr marketplace for sats over Ark, lightning, or ecash.

do you think all the home printers will use plastic? or are there other materials that also make sense from a home 3d printing standpoint?

There are different filaments to use like PLA PLA+ and Nylon, each offering different trade offs (Flexibility/Durability/Cost). CNC mills can carve metal and wood, but are a bit more expensive. Eventually manufacturing and AI assisted designs of all types should become a lot cheaper and harder to keep from the public.
