You have to shop around, but I think that while being able to print oligos is nice, there is really no reason unless you absolutely cannot get primers, to print your own. As for reagents, Edvotek sells buffers/agarose on amazon for crying out loud (although, I am not sure if they sold me TAE or TBE...).
A useful thing to print would be DNA/RNA microarrays. Those are still expensive, I think?
@paul: I would direct you to Carl Sagans quote "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.". The reason we can do cool things (barcoding, for example) is by working within the framework of molecular biology, but without the limitations of a need to publish or make money. If we wanted to do it ourselves at the level you mentioned, we should at least start growing forests of sea-weed to extract agar from!

That saddens me to see that. I would not see why in the WORLD they would not ship to us DIY people... Wish there was a reagent version of OpenBioTech....

I was recently thinking about how wonderful it would be to be able to synthesize my own primers (Since I do not use restrictive enzymes in cloning). Has anyone done it? I was thinking about the 3D printer to make reactions and perhaps that could work... although I do not exactly know all the steps in synthesis... Anyone please put your 2 cents!--Koeng
