3D printers are the future. In fact, according to Fortune Business Insights, "The global 3D printing market size was valued at USD 22.39 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 27.52 billion in 2024 to USD 150.20 billion by 2032." I firmly believe that one day we'll use 3D printing to make all kinds of things to use in our daily lives (but can we get to the incredible 'food' level, like in Star Trek: The Next Generation?).
Although right now they're still a little more niche for the regular consumer and more common for company use, creatives and collectible enthusiasts are still in the market for one. 3D printers are great tools to make parts, crafts, figures, statues, and other useful things. You can even use them to 3D print your own unique D&D figures and miniatures! If you're into miniatures and model kits, you may want to look into 3D printer deals this Black Friday.
