Speaking of RepRap does anyone have a list of things that are either
impossible or incredibly expensive/difficult to manufacture in traditional
ways, but with a 3d printer are easy?

As a 3D printing dude - right now the main emphasis is either hobbyists can
DIY print stuff at home (since they couldn't do that before) or you can use 3D
printers to make really crazy geometries that aren't possible - think of nuts
lattice-work.

Here's group that have amazing algorithmic 3DP art: <http://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com>

Other practical uses are like InvisAlign mouthpieces that are each 3D printed
to your specific teeth. It would've been possible using CNC, but would have
been very hard to do.
