Do I need a 3D printer?

[infinitemach]

I have my light placer on order. I was wondering if owning a 3D printer for making accessories for the LitePlacer is necessary.

I see a lot of LightPlacer owners using 3D printers to augment the use of their PNP.

No 3D printer is required. A lot of folks using LitePlacers are do-it-yourself type folks, so they often have a 3D printer. The only thing I've used my 3D printer for related to the LitePlacer was making component tape holders.
