Re: Who is the Average 3D Printer User?
Just for fun, I am in:
In the 12% that are female (sex)
In the 45% that are in North America (location)
In the 72% that have a Bachelors degree (education)
In the 12% that are 36-40 in (age)
So I am in common company by being an educated North American. But not so common by being a 38 year old female. Intresting.

Re: Who is the Average 3D Printer User?
Australian 3% represent! 
Note if you work out based on your numbers: the US 315mil pop / 45% * 3% = 21mil; which is about the population of Australia (23mil) - so for a place where there are so many shipping and distribution barriers (we refer to the associated costs as the "Australia tax") our per-capita takeup is nearly as good as the USA - I would say this indicated we were a pretty keen bunch...
I however fail the minority test on every other front haha!

Hmm!
22, female, Australian and just starting a sci diploma... Yay for minorities!
@Grob, indeed we are! Despite the atmosphere of technological retardation the mainstream of our society seems to be experiencing
This is a crowd funding thing that I'm running: http://www.gofundme.com/bvi140 It's for pretty selfish reasons

Re: Who is the Average 3D Printer User?
so where did these stats come from? looks like 3D hubs info which is only based on members of their hub of people (about 6k ATM same as number of members here) selling 3d printing services so THAT in itself is only a percentage of 'the average 3d printer user' along with users that dont have their own printer and those with no cad skills to make STL files and just buy from like shapeways or other file sharing sites downloads and acquaintances with printer to print those files etc.
