Personal 3D printers are the new hotness among nerdy hobbyists and tech-oriented DIYers. You’ve probably been curious about what they can do, and maybe even tempted to pick one up — but should you? We ask Tested‘s Will Smith to explain the current landscape, discuss budget and investment, and basically tell Dan whether he should get one for Kat for Christmas.
