Check at http://blog.reprap.org/2011/09/tipping-point-of-print-quality-open.html As you correctly recall, patents are quite old and about to expire. Some interested guys are working on metal printing for the RepRap, and as soon as the patented ideas will be free, it won't be long before the Internet of things could be more real than wishful thinking. People would not print at home, but probably there will be a market for "3d printable" items. Sorry for your proudness, but RepRap can actually “catch up the level of detail” of the big guys.
