Tbh, big corporations will buy it off from desperate people for $2000 and use it to print machines that bulk-produce graphene and micro-fusion reactors and finally have the tech to seal off from Earth and leave ruins behind.

People thought replicators will solve everything but actually big corporations still win, and the economy continues. What’s valuable is the IP or blueprint or knowledge etc. Yes, you can print everything, but do you have a team of engineers who use this replicator to rapidly iterate and develop cutting-edge technologies such as teleporters or warp drives? Too bad you have to pay something for it.
