Digital informal economies

During a recent interview I was stumped when asked to make predictions about the future commercial development of 3D printing, and the consumer / DIY divide. I don’t see myself as a futurist nor am I terribly motivated by commercial enterprise, but this one looming question has incentivised me to deliver some (hopefully) inspiring thoughts posted below.
