It’s a matter of opinion. For me the plastic bits and bobs of a robot are relatively minor and hacking them out of plastic breadboards and scrap plywood is part of the fun. I’ve yet to need a piece that I can’t make, and my robots are constricted much more by their sensors, actuators and my programming than by their chassis design. That’s the practical point of view from where I am in robotics. However the appeal of robotically printing more robots is undeniable. If I really wanted 3D printer I would at least have a go at building one. With €1600 you can actually nearly get both servos and 3D printer, and get the phone free on contract
