Umm no, not at all actually. I've been doing 3D printing for years
over my internet connection, even before when I was on pre-NBN
satellite broadband which was even worse (though mainly with regards
to connection times).

You don't need particularly high-resolution "meshes" for 3D printing,
so for example the STL files for models that I design are ususally
under 500KB. Even if someone does upload a file with a needlessly
high resolution and it ends up tens of megabytes, STL files tend to
compress really well so it might only be a couple of MB in a ZIP
archive. Not inconvenient with my internet speeds, let alone on an
NBN connection.

Houses, yes sort of. Machinery, yeah sure. Cars, well yeah bits of
them anyway. Compared to the speed of the printing itself though, I
don't think the download time for the model is ever going to be a
serious issue on a wired NBN connection. Unless it's just user-error
and they've tried to set the mesh resolution to something approaching
infinite.

There's no mistaking when you've got a reply from Petzl.
