Well, let's start this funny discussion about 3D printing.

Right now there are 2 types of 3D printer:

• 3D printer based on PLA-ABS-OtherStuff, where an extruder melt and place the material
  
• 3D printer based on resin, where a LCD screen uses its light to make the resin react on specific zones and so on
  

Both these types uses a special process called "Slicing" that takes as input a 3D model and outputs a set of instruction to "print" your model layer per layer for the extruder/LCD monitor.

You can 3D print almost everything: mechanical parts (using a polycarbonate), figures, cooking tools, furnitures and so on, there isn't a real limit, just your imagination.

There are a lot of chinese rip-off printers, there is the original Prusa, there are small and large printer. We can say that you can find for sure something suited for your needs.

So, are you going to own a 3D printer?
Do you have any sort of artistic skill to create your own models or are you going to use £D gallery such as Thingverse?

For example, I am only able to create CAD models: I can create mechanical parts or something similar because I have used CAD for some time now. Creating figures is almost impossible for me.
