Amazon made a huge leap into 3D printing Monday, announcing the launch of the 3D Printed Products Store. Much like the wearables marketplace the e-commerce giant launched in April, the 3D Printed Products store offers shoppers a centralized shopping destination for products created with the emerging technology.
The storefront offers pretty basic products, like jewelry, knickknacks and bobble heads, but the draw is that shoppers can personalize item details via a product preview widget.
To manufacture the 3D printed goods, Amazon is working in partnership with companies such as Sculpteo, 3DLT and Mixee labs. Prices range from under $40 to as much as $100.

This sounds pretty cool. I wonder can we just pay a few dollars for the files to print stuff, and print out the stuff our selves when more people own 3D printers, or know someone who owns one, so we can save money by printing it ourselves like printing documents/homework out at home is cheaper than printing it at a photo copy place, or at school where they charge 10-25 cents per printed page sometimes.
