3D printed 1911: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_Concepts_1911_DMLS

Let me ask you this - what part of a toaster oven do you think could *not* be made by 3D printing?

Paneling and door? Metal slabs, easily printed.
Heating element? You can print those, even on micro and nano scale. https://3dprint.com/135079/graphene-3d-print-heating-elements/
Timer? People make far more complex clocks than is needed for the timer on a toaster oven. https://3dprint.com/109956/zmorph-hybrid-clock/
The switch? Simply printed knife switch if you want to go primitive, metal printed parts mounted on a plastic printed base.

So, what part do you think can’t be printed?

"But 3D printers only print in a single medium; nothing close to printing a hamburger or toaster oven. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that you're more than a hundred years off for consumer use."

Remember that?

Everything can be printed if you go far out enough in to the future. So can the dumbocraps waking up. Ha.
