We carried a 3d printer around for a year before I wizened up and put it on a desk at work. I've printed a couple bits and bobs (the custom ram mount for my humminbird comes to mind). It can only do different plastics. I could probably print a trolling motor propeller. Definitely not one for the boat. I've thought about doing 3d printed lost wax castings of certain engine parts.....maybe down the line. ....
They're really cool toys/ capable tools for ~1 boat buck. They take up a bit of counter space though
