There is lot of hype about 3d printed guns and predictions that we will see first major crime committed with them in 2014.

Some kid somewhere with 3d printer will want to be "cool" or gain some "edge" on some bullies end he (or she) will print it and bring it to school. After that there will be explosion of stupidity and fear mongering.
We will see. There will certainly be a LOT of news coverage even if it results in nothing more than few bruises.
