IMHO, while in the short term using a 3D printer may mean more plastic parts everywhere and therefore more waste, in the long term you're promoting a world of Just In Time part production where it is needed, and that future world will produce less waste.


You're forgetting that just in time means a much lower barrier between desire and realization. This can lead to a significant increase in overall consumption.
