Will my next notebook computer be made by my home RepRap?

No. The thing can't print ICs -- it can't even print things that require
high macroscopic tolerances.

That's true of the current version, but will it always remain so?

Couldn't today's version print out a slightly better version, which in turn
would print out an even better version, repeating the process until we have
something that can print IC's?

I read an article a few years ago that predicted just that. 3D printers that
could print out notebook computers. It said the first copy would probably
cost $1 billion, but the second only $15.
