It won't happen sooner than we think, because intellectual property holders and their government provided I.P. laws will squelch and stifle this great step towards eliminating scarcity in our world. . . just like they do with information.
You will be considered a pirate if you download any 3D models which could even be remotely construed to look like or contain qualities similar to copyrighted and patented objects designed by the holders of such.
Until society recognizes that copying information, bits of data, or ideas; and using your own resources to realize that data in the form of music, movies, or 3D printed objects is not nor cannot be theft. . . until we recognize that information and ideas cannot be stolen, and once disseminated out of the mind of the person holding the idea they are no longer property and cannot be 'stolen': until then, we will have a world of imposed and artificial scarcity, where any advancements of this kind will take place only on the underground.
So long as we insist on creating 'rights' to 'property' of a non-scarce, non-tangible nature, and enforcing those 'rights' by government fiat. . . . .all for the sake of "well how would musicians and inventors make money?" type arguments . . . then we will create scarcity and stifle competition and innovation; and infring upon the real and natural rights of everyone else.

you can print more than plastic, you can do metals (stainless steel, sterling silver, aluminum), glass, ceramics, sandstone. http://www.shapeways.com/materials/
I can just see people downloading and printing Ikea pieces, then being unable to print the instructions to put together because they don't have an ordinary printer.
Fortunately enough for you, kwanijml doesn't have enough cronies in the "justice" department to arrest you and fine you 1 million dollars for lost sales of his post. However, if he increases his "campaign contributions" you might see some jail time. I hope you aren't on your grandma's computer right now, or she may end up in jail when the FBI is finally on it (after kwanijml paypal's obama).
You are a pirate and have stolen from kwanijml. I don't think you understand the repercussions of this. Kwanijml may never post again, as he has no purpose of posting when you copy his work. Let's hope he can feed himself tonight.
I agree 100% with your comment except, if I wrote it, I would've said, "it won't happen as quickly as it should" because I believe it will happen sooner than a lot of people think. The only tool the IP monopolists have is the state and they're fighting an impossible battle.
Let the monopolists continue to waste billions purchasing unenforceable laws while we ignore them, not only eroding their monopoly profits but also rendering their political power ($$$) useless.
While I appreciate your concern; I have found alternate means of generating revenue from my postings.
I now post comments live, on a giant whiteboard, in arenas and colluseums nationwide in front of thousands.
I encourage my audience to copy my words as much as they want.
Why do they pay to come and see what they are already reading for free online? Well, you see, I add value to my itellectual offerings by throwing fruit and large gourds at the whiteboard. . . . .really thrills the audience. Stay out of the front 2 rows if you don't like getting messy. . . you're in the fruit juice zone!

In its blog post announcing “Physibles,” The Pirate Bay claimed that “You will download your sneakers within 20 years.”
I'd rather just buy them at the store instead of waiting 20 years for the download to finish!

Well the latter is already true for some food items.

"But what does Riley most want to print right now? “Another 3D printer,” he said."
The kid is already thinking recursively like a LISP programmer. A 3D printer printing another 3D printer!
