It really is simple. If you have your file ready to go, the machine could be pumping out whatever it is you want in a matter of hours.
My dad has only recently become somewhat computer literate. He rocks his Makerbot.
FYI, because this might be of interest to you but there are a few DIY film gear guys who've come up with neat gadgets or handles and what not, and are making and selling them on their Makerbots.

I would imagine he will end up finding lot of uses for it.
I used to work on both ends of that business. One place was an electronics manufacturing company. They spent a lot of money getting custom parts made for jobs. They would just a need a few and paid a premium price. I also worked at a small machine shop that mostly built custom parts.
Having a machine like this could eventually allow them to make many of the custom parts they need and save them a lot of money and time.
