3D printers are very useful tools. I'm a mechanical engineer, and between work and my own engineering consulting / prototyping side business, I'm constantly making functional parts on them. One of the most significant reasons "regular people" don't have as much use for them is that you have to...

I use a special 3D printer to make the master patterns for the molds. The one I have now is smaller, and would require a bunch of hassle to separate that cab bushing shape into multiple pieces, then reassemble them. I'm waiting for a larger model to be released, which was originally supposed...
