Well, when is too young to use a computer?
I'm pretty jaded about brilliant college projects which are still in the development phase, but this is an intriguing one - a 3D printer aimed at ten year olds. What intrigued me, thouhg, was not necessarily the overarching concept - which is cute and praiseworthy, don't get me wrong - but one of the technical details which I glaned from reading a magazine article about it. Apparently the printing head is st up in a polar arrangement, as opposed to a cartesian one, to reduce movement and wear. I'm not aware of any other printers which do this, certainly not at the lower end of the market. So, that's interesting.

As a 10 year old I wasn't in the right age bracket for a 3D printer but the answer is:
At 10 Years old you should be learning Mathematics, English and then some other stuff that might enable you, at a later date, to realise the requirement for a 3D printer and not just to have one because it might be a cool piece of shit.
